Air Cooled Heat Exchanger
The Air Cooled Heat Exchanger (ACHE) is an innovative, eco-friendly cooling solution designed for applications in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, petrochemicals, and chemical processing. It uses ambient air to efficiently remove heat from process fluids, eliminating the need for water and minimizing operational costs. Engineered for maximum durability, this heat exchanger is perfect for locations with limited water resources or where water conservation is a priority.
Product Overview
The Air Cooled Heat Exchanger operates by circulating process fluids through finned tubes, with air blown over the fins to transfer heat away from the system. This setup ensures high-efficiency cooling while remaining cost-effective. Its air-based operation reduces water dependency, making it suitable for remote or arid environments.
