 Unit Configurations

FORCED DRAFT
The most common style. Allows for easy access to
all of the mechanical components and for simplified
future plant expansions with direct access to the
bundle.

INDUCED DRAFT
This configuration is used to minimize the effects of
the environment and helps minimize the chances of
hot air recirculation.

8
 J-UNITS
Common in the compression industry to mount up
against compressor houses. The bundles are vertical
and the air is drawn across the bundles and turns 90
degrees and discharges upwards.

V-CORE
Allows the unit to have more primary surface area in
a small space. This design works well for commercial
units that are Water/Glycol/Fluid Coolers or Refriger-
ant Condensers although it is not limited to these
products.

VERTICAL CORE
Vertical core coolers are very compact and a cost
effective solution to meet your cooling needs. This
configuration has great flexibility to meet space
constraints such fitting in the end or side of a contain-
erized skid while allowing the process piping to run
directly back to the equipment needing cooling.

Built to ASME Section VIII Div. 1 Code

UNIT CONFIGURATIONS Forced Draft

Compressed natural gas (CNG) cooler used to remove the heat of compression at a natural gas filling station. This four stage
cooler has either carbon steel or stainless steel tubes with either flat or corrugated plate fins. All four stages utilize a pipe
header construction that is ASME Section VIII Div. 1 certified with an upper level pressure rating of 5150 PSIG.

LANDFILL GAS

MATERIALS Aluminum L-Foot Fins

HEADERS Plug Box

UNIT CONFIGURATIONS Forced Draft

Methane gas cooler used to cool high volume, low pressure gas, from a landfill blower located in Wisconsin.
The plug box headers are constructed of stainless steel with stainless steel plugs. The plugs allow for
easy tube cleaning due to some of the fouling products that can be delivered from the landfill.

NDE
NON-DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT)
- Effective at checking for flaws located at or near
the surface.
- Uses a metallic power or liquid along with strong
magnetic field probes to locate flaws.
Liquid(Dye) Penetrant Inspection (PT)
- Uses colored or fluorescent dye to check for
surface flaws.
- Will not show sub-surface flaws.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
- Determines the size and location of discontinuities
within a component using high frequency
sound waves.
X-ray Inspection (RT)
- Reveals deep flaws within a component
- Creates a permanent record of a weld used for
quality inspection purposes.
