A V-Type Air Cooler is an advanced, space-saving industrial heat exchanger featuring tube bundles arranged in a "V" shape configuration. Fans are typically mounted at the top or bottom of the V-frame, creating a highly efficient, compact cross-flow cooling system that maximizes heat transfer within a minimal physical area.

A Forced Draft Air Cooler is an efficient industrial heat exchanger that uses ambient air to cool process fluids. In this configuration, the fans are located below the tube bundle, forcing fresh air upward through the finned tubes to absorb heat.
An Adiabatic Air Cooler is an advanced, eco-friendly industrial cooling system that combines dry air cooling with an evaporative pre-cooling process. Before entering the finned tube bundle, hot ambient air passes through wetted media pads or is misted with water. The water evaporates, rapidly dropping the air temperature close to the wet-bulb temperature, allowing for highly efficient cooling even during scorching summer peaks.
An Induced Draft Air Cooler is an efficient industrial heat exchanger where the fans are located above the tube bundle. Instead of pushing air, the fans pull (induce) ambient air upward through the finned tubes, discharging the heated air vertically at high velocity.
CRONX Integrated Hybrid Cooling Station is an advanced modular cooling solution designed for industrial process cooling applications where water conservation, energy efficiency, and compact installation are critical requirements.
A Vertical Air Cooler is an innovative industrial heat exchanger designed with tube bundles positioned vertically rather than horizontally. Axial fans are typically mounted on the side, creating a horizontal cross-flow of ambient air to cool or condense the process fluid flowing down through the vertical finned tubes.
Product Application Project
Five high-specification industrial air coolers were provided for a petrochemical energy project in a Central Asian country, using 45% ethylene glycol as the cooling medium. The project addressed the extremely cold and water-scarce environment of Central Asia by employing a fully dry air-cooled heat exchange technology, achieving zero water consumption operation and completely eliminating the risk of pipeline freezing and cracking in winter, ensuring the continuous and safe operation of this national-level energy corridor.
