Air cooled heat exchangers, are used to cool a hot fluid using cool ambient air. The hot fluid is passed through the heat exchanger & cool ambient air is used to cool it down. The ambient air drawn in from the environment by using a fan. The fans are usually driven by an electric motor. Typically in industrial application the fan motor is AC (single or three phase), whereas in mobile or vehicle-mounted applications these fans run on a battery & usually are 12V or 24V DC operated. These coolers are known by various names in the industry – fin fan heat exchangers, fan cooled heat exchangers, plate fin heat exchangers etc.

Typical application areas are where water is either not available, quality of water is poor or it is desired to save water due to environmental concerns. Also air cooled heat-exchangers are simpler to use as there is no need to provide a pump, plumbing for water, cooling towers or water chillers. This helps in reducing cost of operation & ease of maintenance.

Air cooled heat exchangers manufacturers offer these for a variety of applications & fluids. The most common usage is as hydraulic oil coolers (both stationary and mobile) in closed-loop & open loop cooling systems. These are also used as lubricating oil coolers for gearboxes & bearings, water glycol coolers for jacket cooling of electro-magnets, motors etc. They also find application in keeping rubber mill rollers cool. Air cooled heat exchangers manufacturers are increasingly using them for faster cooling of reactors & calendars.

Other common applications where Air cooled heat exchangers manufacturers supply these include but are not limited to inter/aftercoolers on compressors, after-coolers, vacuum pump / blower coolers, biogas cooling, vapor extraction in oil filtration equipment, and other condensing applications.

The SFP framework developed by me with over 20 years of research has resulted in the right selection of fin metallurgy, the optimal combination of internal/external fins configurations coupled with the sturdy fans giving the required air flow. The optimal selection of internal & external fins ensures maximum heat rejection with minimum pressure drop. Years of research & failures analysis has resulted in the optimization for HOT Indian ambient temperatures & DUSTY environment.

We can help you in finding the most cost-effective and efficient oil cooler heat exchanger. Not only for use as hydraulic oil coolers in indoor industrial applications, mobile vehicle mounting but also for many other applications & fluids. We also provide cooling solutions for hazardous areas.
