ABOUT US

 AirCoolerTechnology.com is owned and operated by Heat Exchanger Technology, LLC. (HET), a Texas based company. HET has over a century of experience in designing, rating, costing, building, and repairing fin/fan air cooled heat exchangers. 

The principals of HET have been at the beginnings of several of the air cooled exchanger companies that are in the market today, including Air X Changers and Air Cooled Exchangers, LLC, in Oklahoma. The principles were involved in the early development of the Eads company, Houston, as well as owned and operated AIR FIN INC., which later became part of GEA Rainey.

Many of the consultants working with HET have over 30 years experience in their particular expertise, including design, manufacturing, and A.S.M.E. code certifications.  HET values retired engineers from this field, helping them stay connected and productive in these changing times.

Our first rating systems were manual, using log/log, paper systems, which evolved through the mainframe era, the personal computer era, and finally have evolved into an internet service.

HET has collected over 75 years of empirical data as well as thousands of specification sheets from numerous vendors, for natural gas, engine jacket water, ethylene glycol, lube oil, compressed air, amine, steam, as well as for several other fluids prevalent in the oil and gas industry.

Expertise ranges from 18" to 168" diameter fan units cooling engine jacket waters, natural gas, lube oils, and compressed air.  Manufacturing expertise includes A.S.M.E. Section XIII box headers, as well as slab headers.

The rating programs are designed to include 5/8" to 1 1/2" O.D. tubing with aluminum wrapped on fins that are either smooth, or slit, such as those used by Air X Changers, ACE, and Air X Hemphill.  Tube gauges range between 8 and 20 bwg.

ONLINE PROCUREMENT HELP

The Air Cooler Marketplace follows the "best practice" methodology for requesting quotes, comparing bids, and procuring air cooled heat exchangers. Through the Packager Portal, buyers and engineers are able to design air cooled heat exchangers that will last a lifetime of service. Using a Patent Pending process, all bids are normalized and compared in an easy to use graphical view, reducing costs beginning with the RFQ creation, through the bid process, and including the comparison and procurement of units.

What used to take hours, now happens in minutes.
