Air Cooled Heat Exchanger

Air Cooled Heat Exchanger (ACHE) is a heat rejection equipment where the excess process heat is rejected to the atmosphere. It works on the principle of convection and conduction to dissipate heat from process fluid to air.Air cooled heat exchangers are available in several arrangements (induced, forced) with different types of finned tubes depending on the process. They are used mainly in the chemical, oil and gas, process and power generation fields.A heat exchanger is a device that facilitates the process of heat exchange between two fluids that are at different temperatures.A heat exchanger is a device that enables effective heat energy transfer between two mediums without them mixing. It heats or cools something by transferring the heat energy through the process of conduction. For example, to keep a car engine cool.
