Air Cooled Heat Exchangers

Applications

The following is a list of typical processes that require air cooled heat exchangers: hydraulic oil cooling, compressed air aftercooling, engine cooling, lube oil cooling, water/glycol cooling, gas compression cooling, process fluid cooling, power generation, and waste heat rejection in water-scarce or remote locations.

Sizes & Materials

Air cooled units feature finned tubes (brazed aluminum or copper/aluminum), API 661-compliant designs, and materials including aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and protective coatings. Core sizes range from small mobile to large forced-draft bundles, handling pressures up to 4,500 psi and temperatures from -40°F to 400°F+. Fans, louvers, and bypass options optimize airflow and control.

Available in forced or induced draft, horizontal or vertical configurations, with electric, hydraulic, or belt-driven fans. Custom fin types, tube spacing, and coatings ensure performance in dusty, corrosive, or high-ambient environments.

Brazed Aluminum Exchangers

Brazed aluminum designs provide compact, lightweight, high-heat-transfer performance. Ideal for high-pressure oil, air, and water/glycol cooling in industrial and mobile systems with low contamination risk.

Copper Tube / Aluminum Fin Exchangers

Copper tube/aluminum fin units deliver excellent conductivity, serviceability, and corrosion resistance. Suited for compressed air, hydraulic, and process cooling with easy coil cleaning and repair.

Common FAQs

Air cooled heat exchangers eliminate water dependency, reduce operating costs, and perform reliably in remote or arid locations. With high-efficiency fins and robust construction, they handle extreme ambients while requiring minimal maintenance and offering long service life.


Offered in brazed aluminum, copper tube/aluminum fin, forced/induced draft configurations, air cooled exchangers provide key advantages:

  • No Water Required:Eliminates supply, treatment, and disposal costs.
  • Low Maintenance:Finned surfaces and durable fans reduce cleaning and service needs.
  • Versatility:Custom designs fit oil, air, gas, and process fluids in any climate.
  • Reliability:Heavy-duty build withstands vibration, dust, and temperature extremes.

Air cooled exchangers transfer heat from process fluid in finned tubes to ambient air forced or induced over the fins. Key components include:

  • Finned Tube Core:Tubes carry fluid; fins expand surface area for efficient heat rejection.
  • Fans & Plenum:Generate airflow; forced or induced draft controls direction and velocity.
  • Heat Transfer:High-performance fins and optimized spacing maximize cooling with low power use.
  • Support Systems:Louvers, bypass valves, and vibration mounts improve control and durability.

Air cooled heat exchangers are ideal where water is scarce, costly, or environmentally restricted. In oil & gas, they cool process fluids reliably in remote sites. In power and manufacturing, they reject heat without wet cooling towers. Customizable and standards-compliant, they provide cost-effective, low-maintenance cooling with proven performance and application support.
