Fan Cooled Heat Exchanger

Cleaning an air cooled heat exchanger can be hard work.

Fan cooled heat exchanger.

Air cooled heat exchangers or air fin fan coolers or air fin coolers or air coolers are one of the heat exchanger types frequently used in process power and steel industries where a process system generates heat which must be removed for which there is no local use. Air cooled heat exchangers also known as fin fan heat exchangers are typically used in applications where water is not available or the desired process outlet temperature can be achieved given the maximum ambient temperatures. Air cooled heat exchangers in very cold climates and or involving viscous or high pour point fluids may require winterization for freeze protection and process temperature control. When using water and chemical to wash away grime getting the pressure just right can be tough.

Forced draft air cooled heat exchanger forced draft fin fan coolers push air from the the bottom of the unit underneath the tube bundle through the finned tube and out of the top. Too much pressure will damage the coils and fins but too little pressure won t get the job done. Visit our tuf lite page to learn more.
