Air Coolers (Industrial air cooling solutions)

Air Coolers

Working Principles

Air coolers are systems that provide air cooling of process fluids. They operate without the need for water, making them an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solution. Air coolers can be designed in two different configurations: Forced Draft Type and Induced Draft Type.

Air coolers work on the principle that the hot fluid circulating in the pipe is brought into contact with the surrounding air through finned tubes, thus transferring heat to the ambient air. Fans provide air flow and increase cooling efficiency.

Forced Draft Air Coolers

The fans are located underneath the finned tube bundles and blow the air upwards. This structure ensures that the tube bundles come into contact with less hot air.


Advantages

High efficiency at low temperature differences

Long service life due to reduced temperature exposure of fan motors


Application Areas

Chemical plants, petrochemical industry and power plants


Induced Draft Air Coolers

The fans are placed on top of finned tube bundles and draw air downwards. This design provides a more efficient airflow.


Advantages

Even distribution of air flow

Increased cooling performance


Application Areas

Heavy industrial applications and plants with high temperature requirements

Finned Tube Bundle

Finned tube bundle is the main component of air coolers that improves heat transfer efficiency. The bundle consists of two main parts:


Rectangular Header

It is the section where the inlets and outlets of the pipelines are located.

Provides smooth distribution of the fluid.

Easy maintenance and cleaning.



Finned Pipes and Supports

It consists of fins tightly fixed to the pipes to increase heat transfer.

Manufactured from high strength materials (stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum).

Accessories

Various accessories can be added to Ovaco air coolers according to plant requirements and environmental conditions:


Speed Control Unit: Saves energy by adjusting the fan speed.

Sound Isolation: Used to reduce noise level.

Winterization System: Circulates warm air to prevent freezing.

Anti-Vibration: Extends the life of the equipment by reducing vibrations.

Backup Fan Motors: Ensures uninterrupted operation.

Filters: Used to clean the airflow and block foreign particles.
