Product Introduction

Core Working Principle

Fluid Flow Path

Hot fluid (water, glycol solution, or process fluid) enters the V-Type Dry Cooler from the bottom and flows through the V-shaped finned tube coils. As the fluid travels along the tubes, heat is transferred from the tube wall to the fins.

Air Flow Path

Top-mounted axial fans draw ambient air from below or from both sides. The air flows vertically upward across the V-shaped coil banks, making full contact with the fin surfaces. Heated air is then discharged from the top of the unit.

Enhanced Heat Transfer

The V-shaped configuration ensures uniform airflow distribution across the coils, minimizing air bypass and short-circuiting. Additionally, the fin geometry is designed to promote air turbulence, which significantly improves the heat transfer coefficient and overall thermal performance of the air cooled dry cooler.

Selection & Installation Key Points

Selection Basis: The following information must be provided for customized heat transfer area and fan configuration: medium type, flow rate, inlet/outlet temperature, working pressure, ambient temperature, and installation space dimensions.
Installation Requirements: The equipment must be installed level/horizontally, with maintenance access reserved. For outdoor installation, proper rain, sun, and corrosion protection measures should be taken. Fan installation must ensure unobstructed airflow.
Operation & Maintenance: Clean dust accumulation on the fin surface regularly (an online blow-off device can be configured). Check the fan operating status. Conduct a pressure test on the tube bundle every 1–2 years.

Optional Configurations & Upgrades

Anti-Corrosion Upgrade: Tube bundle made of seamless copper tubes; fins treated with galvanized/aluminized coating, suitable for corrosive media.

Energy-Saving Upgrade: Fans equipped with variable frequency drive (VFD), automatically adjusting speed based on cooling load to reduce energy consumption.

Smart Upgrade: Addition of temperature and pressure sensors, connected to the DCS system, enabling remote monitoring and automatic control.

V-Type Dry Cooler | V-Shaped Air Cooled Dry Cooler Manufacturer

A V-Type Dry Cooler (also known as a V-Shaped Air Cooler / Dry Air Cooler) is a forced-convection air cooling unit featuring a V-shaped arrangement of finned tube bundles. It uses ambient air as the cooling medium, with top-mounted fans drawing air across the coils to remove heat from the fluid inside the tubes, thereby reducing the fluid temperature. As a highly efficient and water-saving heat exchange device, the V-Type Dry Cooler delivers greater cooling capacity in a smaller footprint compared to traditional horizontal air coolers. It is widely used in data centers, industrial refrigeration, chemical process cooling, HVAC systems, and other applications — especially where space is limited and water conservation is critical.
