What are Fin Fans
Fin fans are industrial air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs) that are critical components in oil and gas processing equipment, natural gas dehydration systems and refineries. They use ambient air to cool and process fluids flowing through the tubes as a cooling medium. Over time these units tend to collect dust, dirt, and other debris, especially if they are located in harsh production environments. The proper way to clean them involves using a mechanical cleanser to remove deposits from the tubes within the fin fan unit.
Why Is Cleaning Your Fin Fan Important
Fin fan cleaning is necessary for maintaining clean equipment and preventing dirt and debris from building up. Foul fins restrict airflow, causing corrosion, vibrations, and other issues such as overheating. This leads to reduced heat transfer efficiency of the exchanger and higher energy cost. Routine fin fan cleaning prevents these issues by removing buildup before it causes equipment damage or production downtime. Restoring them to their original performance and lowering overall maintenance cost.
