Air-cooled Heat Exchangers

Fabsco air cooled heat exchangers (ACHX) are exchangers that use ambient air to pull heat from a liquid or gas stream.  These exchangers can be either horizontal or vertically configured, with either forced or induced draft air.  ACHX require no cooling water, and operational costs are lower than other types of exchangers.

Air cooled heat exchangers are primarily used in several applications, including:

  • Condensing

  • Gas compression

  • Petrochemical

  • Petroleum refining

  • Power generation

  • Refrigeration
