Air Cooled

Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers. These are devices for rejecting heat from a fluid directly into ambient air, instead of rejecting heat to water and then rejecting it to air, as with shell and tube heat exchangers. They do not require water. They may be as small as an automobile radiator or large enough to reject heat from a power plant. They require, at a minimum, one or more bundles of heat transfer surface, and air-moving devices, such as a fans or blowers.
