DESIGN & EQUIPMENT PRINCIPLE
Thermal rating defines bay count, tube rows, fin geometry, fan power and control strategy across summer/winter and turndown cases.
PROCESS EQUIPMENT
Air Coolers (Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers)
Finned-tube air coolers for process condensation or cooling where ambient air is the heat sink.
MAIN COMPONENTS & PACKAGE LIMITS
Bundles, header boxes, finned tubes, fan/plenum, drivers, louvers, structure, access platforms, vibration switches and control interfaces.
CRITICAL DESIGN INPUTS
Process duty, phase behavior, allowable pressure drop, ambient design temperatures, noise limit, fouling, material and plot constraints.
ENGINEERING & SHOP DELIVERABLES
Mechanical calculation, equipment datasheet, general arrangement, fabrication drawings, nozzle schedule, material take-off, welding/NDE map, ITP, lifting and transport drawings, preservation and manufacturing data book.
FABRICATION, INSPECTION & TESTING
Tube and header material control, welding and NDE, bundle pressure testing, fan balance/alignment, vibration/run test, coating and assembly inspection.
APPLICATIONS & PERFORMANCE BASIS
Refinery overhead condensation, product cooling, gas compression and utility services.
