Introduction to the structural distribution of air coolers

An air cooler is a heat exchanger that cools a hot fluid with air. The hot fluid inside the tube is exchanged with the air outside the tube through the walls and fins, and the air used is usually supplied by a ventilator. It can be used for cooling or condensation; cooling of return oil and tower bottom oil; Cooling of circulating gases and condensation of exhaust gas from power station turbines. The air cooler has a working pressure of up to 69 MPa. However, power consumption, noise and floor space are large, and the cooling effect is greatly affected by climate change.
The air cooler is mainly composed of three parts: pipe bundle, fan and structure. It can be arranged in three basic forms: horizontal, vertical and sloping roof. Among them, the horizontal arrangement has a large heat transfer area, uniform air distribution, and good heat transfer effect; When the sloping roof is arranged, the fan is installed in the central space of the herringbone, which has a small footprint and compact structure.
