Experimental testing of two-phase maldistribution in air-cooler headers can lead to more effective header design
April 03, 2024
Salem Bouhairie, Group Lead, Research Air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs) in the oil, gas, and power industries often process two-phase fluids, and their performance is usually limited by the airside thermal transfer resistance. However, flow on the tube side can undergo phase change, such as by vapor condensation or liquid vaporization, producing...

Collecting Measurements Using a Motorized Traverse System
October 11, 2021
Our research technicians built a motorized traverse to acquire more data in a shorter amount of time. This video shows a traverse with two bridges, suspended above the finned tube bundle and moving synchronously across the outlet face of an air-cooler. Each bridge has six clusters of instruments that record data...
