Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Manufacturer

 Undeniable Proof That You Need Air Cooled Heat Exchangers.

“I am looking for an Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Manufacturer who will give me an inexpensive oil cooler”

We were recently approached by a hydraulic equipment manufacturer for a quote on an Air Cooled Oil Cooler. When we asked him for details about his application, his answer was “Just give me an inexpensive oil cooler.  Actually, I don’t need one as I am using a large tank of 750 liters. I just need to complete the bill of materials to satisfy the customer”. For us, this is not an uncommon response. On a little prodding, he disclosed that his hydraulic system used a 75 HP motor coupled to a gear pump delivering 160 LPM oil flow. The equipment had a continuous duty cycle. Read More

What happens when we do not install Air Cooled Heat Exchangers to cool gearbox oil ?

The primary purpose of Air Cooled Heat Exchangers in a gear box is the lubrication of the mechanical moving parts, gears, bearings, bushes. Adequate lubrication ensures that wear & tear is minimized.  As oil heats up, its viscosity gets reduced & its ability to lubricate is compromised. As a result the temperature keeps rising. Resulting in reduced lubrication & further heat generation. Eventually leading to increased wear & tear and reduced equipment life. The rate of progressive wear and tear will increase rapidly. As wear and tear takes place, mechanical efficiency drops & more heat starts getting produced. Also as a result, the efficiency drops and the power required to drive the gearbox increases. This is a silent killer because we don’t even come to know that it’s drawing more power and adding to our electricity bills. Read more:https://bit.ly/3nX01ri

Which Air Cooled Oil Coolers Should be used for Vacuum Pump Oil Cooling?

 

Air cooled fluid coolers can be used to make an offline cooling circuit to cool a large variety of equipment’s, increase their efficiency & optimize their energy consumption. An offline oil cooling circuit has been regarded as an effective technique to cool fluids. Offline systems also called kidney loops, work by using a pump to draw fluid from the equipment’s reservoir, circulate the fluid through an air cooled oil cooler, and returning the cool fluid back to a reservoir. High temperatures can quickly degrade fluids and at times even produce byproducts that become particulate contamination in the fluid. Incorporating a filter in the circuit may also reduce the contaminants in the fluid.Read More

How hot is “HOT OIL”?

The question that I have been asked over and over again by participants in training session & customers is – How hot is “HOT OIL”, in a hydraulic system?

The heat production is due to inefficiencies in system. Though most of the energy consumed by a machine is used to do useful work, a part of the energy gets converted into heat. If the rate of heat buildup is larger than the heat dissipation capacity to the ambient air by natural radiation, the oil will start heating up. If this heat is not managed properly, the temperature of the oil & the equipment keeps increasing till it overheats, causing irreparable damage, which in turn reduces the efficiency further. The end result is increased power consumption, reduced equipment life, break downs & increased maintenance cost.Read More

Air Cooled Heat Exchangers

 Air cooled heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from a process fluid to ambient air. The process fluid is contained within heat conducting tubes.

Atmospheric air, which serves as the coolant, is caused to flow perpendicularly across the tubes in order to remove heat. In a typical air cooled heat exchanger, the ambient air is either forced or induced by a fan or fans to flow vertically across a horizontal section of tubes. For condensing applications, the bundle may be sloped or vertical. Similarly, for relatively small air cooled heat exchangers, the air flow may be horizontal across vertical tube bundles. In order to improve the heat transfer characteristics of air cooled exchangers, the tubes are provided with external fins. These fins can result in a substantial increase in heat transfer surface. Parameters such as bundle length, width and number of tube rows vary with the particular application as well as the particular finned tube design. The choice of whether air cooled exchangers should be used is essentially a question of economics including first costs or capital costs, operating and maintenance expenses, space requirements, and environmental considerations; and involves a decision weighing the advantages and disadvantages of cooling with air. The advantages of cooling with air may be seen by comparing air cooling with the alternative of cooling with water. These issues should be examined on a case by case basis to assess whether air cooled systems are economical and practical for the intended application. The major components of air cooled heat exchangers include the finned tube, the tube bundle, the fan and drive assembly, an air plenum chamber, and the overall structural assembly.
