Contact SupplierAir-cooled heat exchangers are in universal used where a process categorization generates heat which must be uninvolved, but for which there is no local use. A good example is the radiator in your car. The engine mechanism must be cooled to keep them from overheating due to fighting and the combustion process. The water/glycol coolant mixture carries the excess heat away. The car's radiator to heat the inner may use a small amount of the excess heat. Most of the heat must be dissipated somehow. One of the simplest ways is to use the ambient air. Air-cooled heat exchangers (often simply called air-coolers) do not have need of any cooling water from a cooling tower. They are usually used when the opening temperature is more than about 20 deg. F above the maximum expected ambient air temperature. They can be used with closer approach temperatures, but often become expensive compared to a combination of a cooling tower and a water-cooled exchanger.
