01
Process Conditions
- Process flow rate and fluid properties.
- Inlet and required outlet temperatures.
- Operating pressure and temperature.
- Required thermal duty.
AIR-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGERS
Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers
Thermal equipment engineered for industrial process cooling, integrating process conditions, ambient conditions, heat-transfer requirements and operating control.
ENGINEERED FOR THE APPLICATION
Thermal performance starts with process and ambient conditions
Air-cooled heat exchanger performance depends on the interaction between process flow, inlet and outlet temperatures, fluid properties, ambient conditions and available installation space.
Prodisys integrates these variables into thermal sizing, equipment configuration, fan selection and operating control for the required process duty.
ENGINEERING BASIS
From thermal duty to equipment definition
Equipment definition combines process requirements, ambient conditions, thermal design and operating constraints.
02
Site & Ambient Conditions
- Design ambient temperature.
- Site elevation.
- Available footprint and layout constraints.
- Available electrical power.
03
Equipment Engineering
- Thermal sizing and coil selection.
- Fan selection and airflow requirements.
- Mechanical configuration and instrumentation.
- Materials and corrosion protection when required.
PERFORMANCE & CONTROL
Equipment performance matched to operating requirements
Thermal capacity and operating control are evaluated according to process requirements and expected ambient conditions.
Thermal capacity
Heat-transfer performance is defined from process conditions,
required outlet temperature and ambient design conditions.
Airflow and fan selection
Fan and airflow requirements are selected to support the
required thermal duty and equipment configuration.
Operating control
ON/OFF, proportional or variable-frequency control can be
incorporated according to operating requirements.
Technical validation
Engineering analysis and performance evaluation can be used
to support equipment definition and operating decisions.
