AquaVent AVR Air-Cooled Heat Exchanger

Reliable, high-efficiency, air-cooled heat exchanger

The AquaVent AVR is a reliable, low-maintenance, air-cooled heat exchanger widely used to cool closed-loop processes where the fluid temperature is close to ambient.  

Operation

Inside the AVR, warm process fluid passes through a finned copper tube bundle. Fans mounted on top of the AVR draw cool ambient air through the heat exchanger to cool the fluid.

On hot summer days, the AVR will supply fluid at 95°F (35°C) or above in most locations. As ambient air cools down, the fans automatically shut off to regulate the temperature to the desired setpoint.

Maintenance

The copper tube bundle must be protected from freeze damage. Dry Coolers will recommend a glycol–water mixture appropriate to your installed location.
