LC-Series heat exchangers are designed for cooling liquids or high-pressure air with ambient air. Common applications include cooling water used in fracking processes, cooling glycol or water as a cleaner alternative to smaller cooling towers, cooling compressed air and condensing chemicals from high-pressure gas mixtures. Features include a TEFC 230/460 V a.c., three-phase motor, a heavy-duty cooling fan, and OSHA-approved fan guard. The LC-60-1 heat exchanger (photo), for example, will use 45°C ambient air to cool Dowtherm T heat-transfer fluid from 120°C to 70°C. The Dowtherm T will be used to cool a Meso-lactide product tank. The core has carbon-steel tubes, fins and casing. It has an ASME code stamp on the tube side. — Xchanger, Hopkins, Minn.
