Air-cooled condenser with a V-form finned coil block, top-mounted fans and copper return bends

Heat Exchange

Air-Cooled Condensers

Heat rejection where water is scarce or treatment is impractical, sized against Saudi ambient rather than a temperate design day.

Part of our Air-Cooled Condensers service line — we supply, install and maintain it, not just sell it.

Overview

What it does.

An air-cooled condenser trades water for air and surface area. There is no basin, no bleed, no dosing and no legionella management — and in return the unit is larger, the fans draw more, and the condensing temperature follows dry bulb rather than wet bulb.

Sizing is where these are usually got wrong. A unit rated at 35 °C ambient is not a unit rated for a Jeddah afternoon, and the shortfall shows up as high head pressure and tripped compressors in exactly the weeks the plant matters most.

Coil face, fin spacing and fan selection are chosen for the site. Wider fin spacing costs surface area but survives dust; that is a trade worth making deliberately rather than by default.

Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

Shell and tube exchangers built to duty — copper, cupro-nickel or stainless bundles in carbon or stainless shells, sized against the process rather than a catalogue rating and pressure tested before despatch.

Dry Coolers

Dry coolers for closed-loop process and comfort cooling — heat rejected to ambient with no evaporative loss, no make-up water and no water treatment to maintain.

Industrial radiator core in a steel frame with flanged connections on both sides and a copper finned matrix

Process Radiators

Finned-tube radiators and cooling blocks for engine, generator and process duty. Built to the existing core dimensions so a replacement drops into the frame the old one came out of.
