ACE air-coolers
Florida Heat Transfer is excited to introduce Ace air-coolers to its industrial customers. ACE air-coolers has joined the Alfa Laval family of heat exchanger companies. ACE air-coolers combines over forty (40) years of leadership experience in the air-cooled ( fin-fan ) heat exchanger industry that encompasses the entire spectrum of air-coolers from initial thermal application and mechanical engineering , through design drafting , project management and after market support. ACE air-coolers manufactures the fin-fan coolers outside Tulsa in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
ACE air-coolers uses the High-performance fin which offers up to 25% greater heat transfer than the conventional plain fin. The High-performance fin is a spiral, shoulder-type fin with radial openings which substantially increases the heat transfer ( without increasing the pressure drop ) while simultaneously incorporating the strength and non-clogging characteristics of a smooth fin. The High-performance fin works by decreasing the stagnant air film on the fin which increases the outside air film heat transfer coefficient. At the same time it does not increase the turbulence of the air passing over the fins so the result is an increase in overall heat transfer rate without an increase in static pressure or fan horsepower. Hence, the heat transfer area and the capital cost of the air-cooler is reduced for the same process conditions compared to other air – coolers (fin-fan).
