Direct Dry Cooling: API 661 Air Cooled Heat Exchangers

Air Cooled Heat Exchangers, in short Air Fin or Fin Fan Coolers, are used in any application where large quantities of heat need to be transferred. This includes chemical and petrochemical industries, power stations, waste-to-energy facilities as well as steelworks.

Using air rather than water for cooling is a cost-efficient alternative, which also controls the thermal overload of rivers and lakes. Moreover, direct dry cooling offers substantial advantages since air is generally non-corrosive and of unlimited supply.

GEA supplies customized Air Fin Coolers, based on leading design and manufacturing technologies, featuring a wide range of different fin shapes and headers in various material.
