Air Cooled Heat Exchanger Designing

Air-cooling has many advantages over water-cooling :

• Air cooler can be located anywhere, unlike water cooler which has to be near water source.
• Maintenance cost of air cooler is lower than that of water cooler.

Typical applications are :

• Hydraulic oil cooer
• Turbine oil cooer
• Pentane vapour condenser
• Hot air generator using steam
• Cooling of Methane gas extracted from Coal mines.
