Conclusion
Design B has 40% more power requirement as
compared to Design A. If power is costly or space
is not a constraint, then design A is best choice. But
Design B offers 50% smaller foot print (width x
length) as compare to design A. Thus design B can
be selected, when space is a constraint, for technological or offshore structure. Design B has odd
This publication thanks Mr. Manish
Shah for providing this paper Mr.
Manish Shah has received Degree in
Petrochemical Engineering from MIT
India. Mr. Shah is UK Charter engineer (CEng, MIChemE) with 16 years of process

Thus it is clear that, by varying air flow rate, number of tube rows, passes,
tube length and number of tubes per row, many
alternative designs are possible for single
air cooler.
Thus air cooler design involves; careful
optimisation of power, space and hardware to
suite project needs.
