This inspection checklist provides guidance for inspecting key components of an air cooled heat exchanger, including tubes, header boxes, tubesheet, fan, driver, and housing. Technicians are instructed to inspect fin condition and fouling on tubes, measure tube inner diameters, and consider eddy current inspection to evaluate tube wall thickness. They should also inspect the header box and tubesheet for wall thickness, check plugs for impingement, and examine threads for corrosion. Finally, the fan should be inspected for cracks, guards checked for integrity, and the housing evaluated for its general condition.

Date: Equipment#: Service: Tubes: Inspect fin condition and fouling. Have header plugs removed and measure tube I.D.with an I.D. gage. Consider eddy current inspection to determine tube wall t Pull specimen tubes if the eddy current inspection indicates it is warranted. Header boxes and tubesheet: Inspect the header box and tubesheet for wall thickness. Check the plugs for impingement on the outlet sides. Check the plug and header hole threads for corrosion and galling. Fan,driver,and housing: Inspect the fan for cracking or distress. Check the guards to ensure they are intact,for personnelprotection. Check the light gage steelhousing for general condition. Initial Chevron Corporation 900-21 Dacambar 1989
