1. - According to API 521 - item 5.15.7.2 Gas cooling service

It is not necessary to consider the bare area of air-cooled exchangers in gas-cooling service in the
calculation of fire loads, since there is no associated vapour generation and the tubes are likely to fail
due to overheating.
This design criteria should be re-evaluated on each case.
