The AVD Series V-Bank Dry Cooler is a high-efficiency, low-maintenance, air-cooled heat exchanger. The AVD is widely used to cool closed-loop processes near ambient temperature with no water usage and no chemical treatment.
AquaVent AVD V-Bank Dry Cooler
High-efficiency v-bank air-cooled heat exchanger with variable speed fans.
Operation
This dry cooler runs hot process fluid through finned coils in a V-shaped configuration, while centralized fans draw ambient air across the fins. This allows the heat to transfer from the fluid to the air, effectively cooling the fluid as the air is released to the atmosphere.
The V-shaped design increases the area for heat rejection while minimizing the footprint, resulting in highly efficient cooling for large installations.
Maintenance
- The copper tube bundle must be protected from freeze damage. Dry Coolers will recommend a glycol–water mixture appropriate to the installed location.
- Inspect and comb out bent fins to ensure free air intake.
