    Air Cooler

    The steps to sizing Air Cooler is:


    1. T in oF
    T =TinTout
    where Tin
    = inlet process temperature (oF)
    Tout = outlet process temperature (oF)
    2. Tube Rows ( TR )
    Air cooler standard has tube rows 3 6 (Wallas, 1988). 3 tube rows which is used.
    3. Overall Heat Exchanger Coefficient (U) in Btu / h . ft 2 F
    T
    T air
    U

    TR= A ' + B' ln


    Where
    A
    = 3.168
    B= 3.795
    Tin
    = 347oF
    Tair in = 86 oF
    4. Ratio Area (A/FA)
    A
    D
    =C ' (TR )
    FA
    where
    C
    = 1.256
    D
    = 1.003
    5. Air velocities (FV) in ft /menit
    '

    FV =E '( F ' TR )
    where
    E

    = 720,854

    = 0,953

    T
    6. Air Temperature outlet ( AirOut ' ) in oF

    Air
    T out +T
    T
    2

    Air
    T Air Out ' =0.005 U
    7.

    LMTD in oF

    Air
    T out T

    (T T Air out ' )

    air
    T out T /(T T air ou t )

    LMTD=
    '

    8. Tube Heat Transfer Area (A) in ft 2


    Q
    A=
    U LMTD
    where Q =

    m
    m
    .Cp.T Btu/jam, mass flow (

    and heat capacity (Cp) from

    Hysys simulation.
    9. Bundle Area (FA) in ft 2
    FA
    FA= A
    A
    10. Volumetric Air Flow (F) in ft 2 / menit
    F=FA FV

    11. BHP
    BHP=

    FA
    G+( H R)

    where
    G= 7.421
    H= 12.534
    BHP
    = 1.03 HP
    12. Tube Bundle Width (W) in ft
    FA
    W=
    L
    With optimum L = 1.8 W, or L/W ratio is not more 1.8 (Wallas, 1988).
    13. Minimum Area Fan (FAPF) in ft 2
    0.4 FA
    FAPF=
    Jumlah fan
    14. Fan Diameter (D) in ft
    0.5
    FAPF
    D= 4

    15. Number of Tube (Nt)


    A
    Nt=
    ODt L
