ITT Aftercoolers

Replacement Heat Exchangers

Aftercoolers play a crucial role in cooling the compressed air to near ambient temperature while also condensing the water vapor present in the air into liquid form. The design consists of multiple tubes within a shell, where the hot, compressed air passes through the tubes and the cooling medium, often water or ambient air, circulates around them within the shell. This design facilitates efficient heat transfer from the compressed air to the cooling medium. Shell and tube aftercoolers not only help in enhancing the efficiency of air compression systems by reducing the temperature but also protect downstream equipment from damage due to high temperatures and moisture. They are highly valued for their robustness, high thermal efficiency, and adaptability to high pressure and temperature conditions.
