Heat Transfer System (ACHEs)
Function
How It Works
Air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs) are thermal devices that dissipate heat from a process fluid to the ambient air using fans. This design eliminates the need for water as a coolant, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
How it works: ACHEs can operate in two primary modes: forced draft and induced draft. In forced draft, fans are positioned below the tube bundle, forcing air upwards through the tubes. In induced draft, fans are placed above the tube bundle, pulling air downward.
Types of ACHEs
- Horizontal: The tube bundle is arranged horizontally, with air flowing vertically.
- Vertical: The tube bundle is vertical, and air flows horizontally.
- V-type: The tube bundle is inclined, with air flowing in a V-shaped pattern.
- A-type: Similar to the V-type, but with a different tube bundle arrangement.
Key components of ACHEs:
- Finned tubes: Enhance heat transfer surface area.
- Headers: Distribute the process fluid to and from the tubes.
- Fans: Force or induce airflow across the tube bundle.
Advantages of ACHEs:
- No need for water
- Lower operating costs
- Reduced fouling compared to water-cooled systems
- Easy access to abundant and free cooling medium (air)
- Simple installation and low maintenance
- Environmentally friendly
Specifications
Materials and Construction
ACHEs are typically constructed using materials such as:
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Copper
- Copper nickel alloys
The choice of materials depends on factors like corrosion resistance, temperature, and pressure.
