    Typical Air Fin Cooler Piping and Data

    Gustavo Fama
    This design standard provides guidelines for piping design and location of air fin coolers. It specifies that forced draft coolers have fans below the tubes that push air through, while induced draft coolers have fans above the tubes that pull air through. The document outlines best practices for locating coolers to prevent restricted airflow and notes they should be near related equipment. It also provides requirements for ladders, platforms and access around coolers located above structures. Piping guidelines state inlet piping must not pocket into coolers and valves must be accessible from platforms. Forces on piping connections must not exceed vendor specifications.

    BN-DS-C49 Typical air fin

    cooler piping and data


    This design standard provides typical design data for air fin piping design. The notes with the
    figures are:
    General
    1.1 - Forced draft air coolers are defined as those coolers whose fans are located below the
    tube bundle and push the air through the tubes.
    1.2 - Induced draft air coolers are defined as those coolers whose fans are located above the
    tube bundle and draw the air through the tubes.
    Location
    2.1 - Care should be exercised in locating air cooler to prevent starvation of air flow. Intake
    of hot exhaust gases (from whatever source) and recycling of air flow from the air coolers
    themselves (see examples for correct and incorrect air cooler arrangements)
    2.2 - Air coolers are to be located as close as possible to their related equipment and within
    available space above overhead pipeways or other elevated structure
    2.3 - Air coolers may be mounted at grade if process requirements can be met and adequate
    space is available
    2.4 - Multiple air cooler units should be grouped together whenever possible to enable
    supporting of a common location and the sharing of common platforms
    2.5 - Whenever air coolers are mounted above pipeways, consideration must be given to
    provide ample clearances between fan drives and access platforms. These considerations will
    normally determine the elevations of coolers.
    Ladders and Platforming
    3.1 - Air coolers located above pipeways or elevated structures are to be provided with
    ladders from grade and platforms for the purpose of servicing gearing, fan drives and motors,
    these consist of main walkways, at or near center of the coolers, with auxiliary platforms to
    each drive mechanism. The width of the auxiliary platform should be of sufficient size to
    permit the removal of the driver gear and the transporting of same, by portable means to a
    convenient dropout area to grade.
    3.2 - Platforms are also required at cooler header boxes for access to inlet and outlet
    connections. These platforms are often provided by the air cooler vendor. Access to the above
    platforms can be either by ladder or stairways or a combination of both depending on
    individual job requirements.
    3.3 - Air coolers located at grade shall be provided with ladders from grade and platforming
    for access to header boxes only, as fan drives are normally accessible from grade
    3.4 - Provide escape ladder only when walking distance from main access ladder or stairway
    exceeds 15 meters
    Piping
    4.1 - Pocketing of inlet piping to the air cooler is not permitted
    4.2 - When inlet or outlet valves at the coolers are required, they must be accessible from and
    clear of platforming
    4.3 - These piping configurations to be used only when flexibility requirements dictate. If
    these configurations are use, the resultant total forces and loading on the equipment shall be
    transmitted to the vendor, so that he may incorporate the required pipe support on the
    equipment. If vendor's requirement cannot tolerate this additional loading, consideration must
    be given to the possibility of spreading apart adjacent coolers, (if present) so that column
    extensions may be provided to support the piping.
    4.4 - Close liaison must be maintained between the piping design, pipe support and stress
    analysis group during the layout phase to ensure that the allowable forces and moments on
    the nozzles as specified by the vendor, are not exceeded. If impractical to meet specified
    loading, consult vendor to develop a satisfactory solution
