Air-Cooled Equipment

Air-Cooled Condenser

5 kW to 10,000 kW+ with zero water consumption

Air-cooled heat rejection for sites where water is scarce, expensive, or not worth the treatment burden.

Capacity
5 kW to 10,000 kW+ heat rejection
Design ambient
Selected to site, up to 55 °C
Coil construction
Copper tube, aluminium fin
Fin spacing
2.1–3.2 mm, wider pitch for dusty or sandy sites

Figures are indicative. Sizes, materials and duty are confirmed against your drawing and a site survey before quotation. Part of our Air-Cooled Condensers & Dry Coolers service line, so we supply, install and maintain it.

What it does

Rejecting heat directly to air removes make-up water, treatment, blowdown and legionella management entirely, in exchange for a larger footprint and more fan energy. On many Saudi sites that trade is worth making.

The design question is always the approach to ambient. Units are selected against the real design ambient for the site, up to 55 °C, and the resulting condensing temperature is stated rather than implied. Fin spacing is chosen for the site's dust and sand loading, because a tight fin pitch that blocks in six months is a false economy.
