Air Cooled Condenser
Our Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) offers an advanced, energy-efficient solution for heat rejection in industrial processes, power plants, petrochemical facilities, and HVAC applications. Designed to eliminate the need for water, it condenses process vapors into liquid form using ambient air, making it ideal for areas with limited water resources.
Information
Our Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) offers an advanced, energy-efficient solution for heat rejection in industrial processes, power plants, petrochemical facilities, and HVAC applications. Designed to eliminate the need for water, it condenses process vapors into liquid form using ambient air, making it ideal for areas with limited water resources.
Advantages
● Eco-Friendly: Zero water consumption, no wastewater discharge.
● Cost-Effective: Lower operational and maintenance costs vs. water-cooled systems.
● High Adaptability: Performs reliably in extreme temperatures and harsh conditions.
● Compact Design: Modular structure for space-saving installations.
● Long Lifespan: Corrosion-resistant materials and robust engineering.
Applications
● Oil & Gas: Cooling refinery streams, natural gas, and LNG.
● Power Generation: Condensing steam turbines and cooling auxiliary systems.
● Chemical Industry: Managing exothermic reactions and vapor condensation.
● Renewable Energy: Supporting geothermal and biomass energy systems.
● HVAC & Manufacturing: Industrial heat recovery and process cooling.
Optional Configurations
● Compliance with ASME and API 661 standards
● Forced Draft or Induced Draft fan arrangements
● Horizontal or Vertical air flow design
● Smart Controls (temperature sensors, variable speed fans)
● Explosion-Proof, Low-Noise, or Marine-Grade Designs
● Dry/Wet Hybrid System for Enhanced Performance in high ambient temperatures
● Custom painting & corrosion protection
Extended Surface Fin Types Available
● L-foot fin (basic embedded fin, economical and widely used for general-purpose cooling)
● Overlapped L-foot fin (LL type): provides better corrosion resistance by overlapping fin foot over the tube surface
● Embedded G-fin: fins mechanically embedded into the tube surface for improved thermal contact and durability
● Knurled L-foot fin (KL type): uses a knurled surface on the tube to enhance mechanical bonding between fin and tube
● Extruded fin: formed by extruding aluminum over the tube for maximum corrosion resistance and strength, ideal for harsh environments
● Bimetallic finned tubes: e.g., aluminum fins on carbon steel or stainless steel tubes, combining thermal conductivity with structural or corrosion benefits
● Custom fin materials and geometries available upon request
Header Types Available
● Plug-type header (for compact or low-cost design)
● Removable cover plate header (for easy inspection and maintenance)
● Removable bonnet-type header (for higher-pressure applications with external access)
● Manifold-type header (for multi-pass or special flow arrangements)

Air-Cooled vs. Water-Cooled Heat Exchangers
Which One to Choose?
● Air-cooled systems are recommended for water-scarce or high-temperature regions, offering low maintenance costs and zero water consumption.
● Water-cooled shell-and-tube exchangers are ideal when lower outlet temperatures, compact installation, or reliable water supply are required.
● We also offer hybrid (dry/wet) air-cooled systems for enhanced performance in hot climates.
Supporting Products:
● Air Fin Cooler / Dry Cooler
● Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
● Plate Heat Exchanger
● Hybrid Cooling Systems (Dry + Spray)
Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers (Dry Coolers, Air Fin Coolers)
Advantages
● Environmentally friendly: no water consumption, no thermal or chemical pollution
● Site flexibility: suitable for arid areas or water-scarce regions
● Easy maintenance: corrosion-free, scaling-free, long service life
● Lower operating costs: air has low resistance and no treatment cost
● Passive cooling: retains 30–40% natural cooling even when power is off
Limitations
● Cooling is limited by dry-bulb temperature; it cannot cool below ambient
● Requires a larger footprint due to low air-side heat transfer
● Affected by weather: wind, sunlight, and seasonal changes impact performance
● Noise: due to fans and airflow
● Requires finned tubes and specialized fan systems
Shell-and-Tube Water-Cooled Heat Exchangers
Advantages
● High cooling efficiency: outlet temperature can approach wet-bulb conditions
● Compact design: smaller footprint, easily integrated into tight spaces
● Stable performance: unaffected by ambient temperature fluctuations
● Quiet operation: no fans, minimal noise
Limitations
● High water consumption and pollution risk
● Needs water source, pumps, pipelines, and treatment systems
● Corrosion & scaling: frequent maintenance and chemical treatment required
● Total shutdown upon power failure
● Biological growth risk in warm climates
