4.8.3 Costing of air coolers

A. A. Smith

An air cooler is a combination of pressure vessel, structure, mechanical equipment, and electric drive. As such, cost levels vary with such diverse parameters as the following:

Fin tube type
Tube length
Header type
Structure finish
Materials of construction
Noise limits
Drive type

Approximate air cooler costs are most often quoted on the basis of dollars per square meter of outside bare tube surface. In order to detail variations in cost at 1988 levels, let us consider a typical unit:

Size	2,500 m² bare surface
Core tube	Steel-14 BWG, 25.4-mm OD
Tube length	9 m
Fin pitch	2.3 mm
Fin material	Aluminum
Fans	4-bladed 60 m/s tip speed
Drive	22 KW max; V belt
Draft	Forced
Header	Plug
Pressure	700 kPa
Structure finish	Galvanized
Walkways	Header and motor access
Ladders	To grade
Tube rows	6
Fin height	16 mm
