Selecting fan air coolers and dry coolers
Fan air coolers, radiators, dry coolers and ammonia condensers are sized for distinct process and ambient conditions. Thermal duty, fluid temperatures, design ambient temperature, flow rate and allowable pressure drop determine equipment size and coil arrangement.
Design for operating conditions
- Tube and fin materials are selected for the fluid, corrosion exposure and site environment.
- Fan quantity and control method are evaluated against part-load operation, energy use and sound targets.
- Fin spacing and cleaning access reflect dust and fouling conditions.
- Equipment layout prevents air recirculation and preserves access for service and coil cleaning.
