What is an air cooler? The working principle of an air cooler

1. Air cooler, abbreviated as air cooler, is the most commonly used heat exchange equipment for condensation and cooling in petrochemical and oil and gas processing production. Air coolers are generally composed of main components such as tube bundles, tube boxes, fans, louvers, and frames.

2. Function of air cooler: It is mainly used for the cooling processing and frozen storage of meat, poultry, aquatic products, fruits and vegetables, egg milk, and cold drinks in the food industry, as well as the cooling and refrigeration of beer, Baijiu and other liquors and beverages. In addition, it can also meet the cooling needs of processing raw materials and places for technological cooling in the chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, machinery, electronics, hydropower and other industries.

3. Principle: An air cooler is an equipment that uses ambient air as the cooling medium and sweeps the outside of the finned tube to cool or condense the high-temperature process fluid inside the tube. It is also known as an "air cooler" or "air-cooled heat exchanger". An air cooler, also known as a finned fan, is commonly used to replace the cooling medium of a water-cooled shell tube heat exchanger. The air cooler is an independent set of equipment with a small footprint, which can be placed indoors or outdoors according to user requirements. It can be connected to the equipment using hoses or steel pipes. The water pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the valve, which is displayed on the pressure gauge on the water distribution package. Before use, all cut-off valves of the high-frequency equipment should be closed. After self circulation, the water should be drained by the drain valve under the water distribution package to ensure that there are no debris during equipment use, so as not to cause blockage.
