DRY COOLER

Industrial air coolers

The air cooler is a key piece of equipment for air conditioning and fluid cooling in industrial processes. At BOIXAC, we design air coolers focused on the thermal optimization of fluids such as process water, industrial refrigerants and thermal oils, ensuring stable, reliable and efficient performance even under severe operating conditions.

This type of forced-air heat exchanger is widely used in sectors such as power plants, the paper industry, diesel and gas engines, steam turbines, oil refineries, petrochemical plants and gas processing facilities, as well as in numerous applications within the process industry.

Advanced thermal design with forced ventilation

BOIXAC air coolers combine expertise in heat exchangers with high-performance forced ventilation systems, integrating industrial fans from leading manufacturers such as EBM-PAPST®, S&P® or ZIEHL-ABEGG®. This combination enables efficient, controlled heat dissipation adaptable to the specific requirements of each project.

The design of each unit considers critical parameters such as:

  • air and fluid flow rates,

  • inlet and outlet temperatures,

  • allowable pressure drops,

  • environmental conditions,

  • acoustic requirements,

  • safety regulations and ATEX classifications when required.

Variety of fins and finned tubes

Beyond conventional continuous fins, available in materials such as aluminium, copper, steel, stainless steel or titanium, BOIXAC integrates advanced solutions such as:

  • helically wound fins around the tube,

  • transverse fins continuously welded along the tube, especially suitable for applications where thermal radiation is relevant,

  • continuous fins forming a compact fin package along all tubes.

Custom air cooling solutions

Design flexibility allows for a wide range of industrial air coolers adaptable to different operating scenarios:

  • Configurations for high and low temperatures

  • Compact versions or large heat exchange surface designs

  • Construction materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper or special alloys

  • High-efficiency AC or EC fans

  • Designs optimized for low noise levels

  • Option to integrate protective guards, control and monitoring systems

  • Design compatible with explosive atmospheres (ATEX)

This versatility makes it possible to address both standard solutions and complex engineering projects, where thermal performance and operational reliability are decisive.
