Re-Rating & Troubleshooting
Is your air-cooler meeting your needs?
Altex provides complete technical support and troubleshooting to solve thermal and mechanical performance issues on legacy air-cooler equipment.
Performance issues on air-cooled heat exchangers may be due to incorrect assumptions during engineering, poor design, operational methodology, evolving process conditions, and/or changing environmental conditions.
Please contact us if you’re experiencing any of the below:
- Running hot in the summer
- Freezing-up in the winter
- Over-cooling
- Excessive corrosion
- Fouling quickly (internal)
- External fouling on fin tubes
- Excessive vibration
- Excessive noise
- Recirculation of warm air from adjacent air-cooler bays
We want to minimize your capital and operating costs by making use of existing equipment whenever possible.
We offer:
- Thermal re-rates for existing air-cooler bundles
- Mechanical re-rates for existing air-cooler bundles
- Review of process data and site conditions
- Review of operational methodology
- Upgraded or revised bundle replacements to meet service and duty
- Revised fans and motors
- Revised louvre and actuators
- Winterized (re-circulation) retrofits, including floors, insulation, and heating coils.
- Fin combing and cleaning
