The core components typically included in the air cooler kit of Atlas Copco industrial compressors are:
Cooler core:
As the core for heat dissipation, it usually adopts a finned tube structure made of copper, aluminum or stainless steel, which increases the heat exchange area to enhance the efficiency. The core of the air cooler circulates high-temperature compressed air (or lubricating oil) internally and is forced to ventilate externally through fans to achieve heat exchange.
Fans and drive components:
It includes a cooling fan, motor (or belt wheel drive device), providing forced airflow to the cooler and accelerating heat dissipation. Some intelligent models' fans are equipped with speed regulation functions, which can automatically adjust the speed according to the temperature.
Sealing and connection components:
It includes sealing strips, gaskets, O-rings, etc., ensuring the sealing of the cooler and the pipeline connection, preventing the leakage of compressed air (or oil); it also includes inlet and outlet air (oil) interfaces, flanges, etc., to ensure precise connection with the compressor system.
Temperature control and protection elements:
Some kits come with temperature sensors, temperature control switches, etc., to monitor the temperature of the cooled medium. When the cooling effect is poor, they trigger warnings or increase the fan speed to ensure system safety.
Functions and application scenarios:
When the compressor is working, the air temperature will significantly increase (usually up to 100-200℃). The air cooler kit cools the high-temperature compressed air to 40-60℃ through heat exchange (the specific temperature depends on the model), avoiding damage to subsequent pipelines, storage tanks and gas-using equipment caused by high temperatures.
For oil-injected screw compressors, the cooler kit may also integrate oil cooling function, simultaneously reducing the temperature of the lubricating oil, ensuring lubrication effect and oil-gas separation efficiency.
Kit features:
Original factory compatibility: Designed for specific industrial compressors (such as GA, ZR, GHS series), the size, interfaces, and heat dissipation power are perfectly matched with the entire machine to ensure consistent cooling efficiency and equipment load requirements.
Corrosion resistance: The core material and surface treatment process are adapted to the erosion of water vapor, dust, etc. in industrial environments, extending the service life.
Efficient heat dissipation: The finned structure has been optimized, providing a larger heat exchange area in the same space, improving heat exchange efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
