Air Cooled Heat Exchangers dominate the plots of refineries, petrochemical complexes, natural gas processing facilities and power plants, so consider this:
- The loss of just 0.01% of daily production due to incomplete condensing means > $1.25MM* of product flared
- A low cost fan performing 25% less efficiently than purported on the specification sheet can cost you $0.5MM* in increased energy costs
- Superior fans and bearings can contribute > $0.4MM* in lifecycle maintenance cost savings
* Assuming a 20 year plant life of a single cooler bay in a mega energy project
Through the acquisitions of Hudson Products and Air-X-Changers, Chart has brought together trusted leaders for delivering heat transfer solutions and through our Hudson, Smithco, Air-X-Changers, Hammco and Cooler Service Company brands, the industry’s most comprehensive air cooled heat exchanger portfolio across a broad range of applications.
Fin-Fan™ isn’t the generic industry term for an air cooled heat exchanger, it’s our trademark. We forged our reputation more than 75 years ago pioneering the technology to solve urgent production problems in the field and we’ve never lost that passion for finding ingenious, cost-effective solutions for our customers.
Corrosion resistant fiber glass reinforced polyester (FRP) axial flow fans providing the highest levels of performance, durability and efficiency in air-cooled heat exchangers, cooling towers and air-cooled steam condensers (ACCs).
