Should a canopy be installed over the air cooler?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, there are two considerations: 1) In the southern coastal areas, thunderstorms occur frequently in summer, and the rain falling on the air coolers can cause temperature fluctuations； 2. Water evaporation affects the equipment’s service life (fluctuations in temperature) ； If a canopy is added, it is likely to be blown away during typhoons.
Process-related issues fall under the category of process adjustments, and corresponding adjustments should have been made in the first place. The issue of equipment lifespan is also within reasonable limits; after all, everything has a useful life span. The best approach is to take proper protective measures to extend that lifespan slightly!
Haha, when it rains, especially in heavy downpours, it has a huge impact on the cooled temperature of various towers, and sometimes it’s difficult to cope with that. But it seems unnecessary to install an awning
Refer to the specifications in the piping design manual: air coolers shall not be equipped with canopies and must be installed outdoors
Hehe, the biggest problem with installing canopies is that they prevent heat from escaping. Then there’s the aging of materials caused by waste heat steam; it’s best not to have it.
What are the company’s requirements for equipment management?
It is not advisable to set it. It hinders air convection, resulting in reduced efficiency of the equipment.
