Cooling Products is one of the leading manufacturers of air-cooled heat exchangers in the U.S. They typically build larger, horizontal coolers usually to the API (American Petroleum Institute) Specifications. Of course, they are an ASME Code shop. Most of their customers are in the petroleum refining, petrochemical, natural gas transmission, or air separation industries. They are a privately held company, established in 1961.
Cooling Products' list of loyal customers includes almost all of the major cooler users in the United States as well as many more throughout the world. It includes such names as BP Oil, Exxon, Shell Oil, Sun Oil, Amoco, Chevron, Columbia Gas Transmission, Dominion Gas Transmission, El Paso Natural Gas, Bayer Corp., and Praxair, to name a few.
They have built a large number of high pressure coolers with design pressures exceeding 2000 PSIG (Actually up to 12,000 PSIG and tested to 18,000 PSIG). They have also built many coolers operating in cold climates requiring warm air recirculation systems and controls to prevent freezing or hydrate formation in the process fluids.
They are a high-quality shop capable of building coolers to the API-661 specifications with no exceptions. Some of the features commonly incorporated into their designs are:
Deep plenum chambers for better air distribution over the face of the tube bundle
Rounded and eased fan rings for lower fan power consumption and better air distribution
Cast zinc collars on the finned tubes for the tube supports
On tube bundles with L-footed fins they also have cast zinc collers at the tubes ends
All hot-dip galvanized structures and plenums
Flame-spray metallized header boxes to eliminate paint touch-up and costly maintenance
Extensive cross-bracing of structures to withstand heavy wind or seismic loads
Cooling Products can provide coolers with extruded aluminum fins with for diameters of 5/8" through 1-1/2" in lengths up to 60 feet. They are one of the few cooler manufacturers to manufacture their own extruded finned tubes. They currently have the capability of finning tubes with outside diameters of 1.0", 1.25", and 1.50" in lengths up to 60 feet.
Lastly, they offer solid, conservatively designed coolers at competitive prices. They have gained a reputation for keeping their delivery promises. One of the real tests of a vendor is the fairness with which they treat a customer for any changes made after an order is placed. We have worked with Cooling Products for several years on many projects, and can honestly say that they have been extremely fair with their customers in this regard. We strongly recommend that you consider Cooling Products for your next project requiring air-cooled heat exchangers.
