Is the calculation for air-cooled heat exchangers based on an air velocity of 2.5 M/S? The fan has a diameter of 400 MM, with an air volume of 3290 M3/H. What is the wind speed in M/S?

The wind speed can be calculated by dividing the air volume by the area, with time being converted to seconds. If you use the diameter of the fan, the resulting wind speed will be a little over 7. However, the design of air coolers is based on their area; therefore, by dividing the air volume by the area of the air cooler, you can obtain the wind speed acting on the surface of the air cooler. Generally, this value will be slightly higher than 2.5 – this is for reference only!
