Cooling
Cooling is the process of lowering the temperature of process liquids, gases or vapors with a refrigerant. In most cases, the coolant is water, less often air (for example, in air coolers) or specially prepared coolants – brines, ethylene glycol / propylene glycol solutions. Chillers in refrigeration machines, cooling due to the evaporation of refrigerants (ammonia, freons), can be considered a special case.
Cooling equipment may have different names in different industries:
- cooler;
- refrigerator condenser;
- water cooler;
- gas cooler;
- oil cooler;
- refrigerator (water cooler, air cooler, oil cooler);
Application in industries
Refining industry
Used as...
They are used in almost all installations for the cooling of intermediate or end products. Cooling usually occurs at the expense of circulating water and at the expense of air in air coolers. Quite often, cooling is accompanied by condensation.
Metallurgical industry
Used as...
Used in:
- furnace cooling systems
- cooling of casting plants
- cooling caster
- cooling of rolling mills
- cooling of oils, emulsions, pickling solutions, lubricants, air, argon, nitrogen, gases.
Gas processing industry
Used as...
Used for:
- cooling gas streams (possibly with partial or complete condensation)
- cooling of absorption (cleaning) solutions (amines)
- cooling end liquid products, oils, air
Chemical industry
Used as...
Used for:
- acid cooling
- cooling alkalis
- cooling of chemical solutions
- gas cooling
- air cooling
- vapor cooling
By-product coke industry
Used as...
Used as:
- coolers for absorption oil, ammonia water, sulfuric acid
- coolers-condensers of hydrogen sulphide, end gas, ammonia
- reflux condensers of the stripping (benzene) column.
