Market Dynamics
Introduction:
Air-cooled heat exchangers directly cool the various process mediums with ambient air as the cooling medium rather than water. These are made of finned tubes, within these tubes, various types of fluids are cooled or condensed. Air cooling eliminates the corrosion and fouling problems that are associated with water cooling. Selecting suitable tube materials can effectively cool or condense process fluids such as water, chemicals, or other heat transfer fluids.
