need through tailor-made solutions
designed as double-circuit drycooler for cooling two separate circuits simultaneously , such as the engine ’ s jacket water and aftercooler . Gas coolers are usually arranged as a multiple-stage compressor cooler , ensuring optimal cooling and efficiency for the gas compression system . The design incorporates multiple separate circuits within a single frame , enabling the simultaneous cooling of each compression stage at different pressures and temperatures within a single unit . FACO equipment can be provided with protective treatments like tinning , hot dip galvanizing , cataphoresis , Heresite ® , Rilsan ® and Blygold ® , which ensure longevity and reliability under demanding conditions , and additional accessories like drip trays , drop eliminators , turbulators , drain and vent valves , low-noise fans , louvers , expansion tanks , defrosting systems , etc . superheated water / steam generators , heat recovery units , and economizers . These components are adaptable through a wide choice of tube patterns , materials , and thicknesses , catering to specific operational requirements . FACO also provides specialized executions such as airtight , cover plate , water box headers , safety double-tube , bare tubes , and reinforced seismic-proof / antishock designs . Finned block heat exchangers typically consist of multiple rows and circuits with pipe headers and return bends coils . While water box cleanable heat exchangers are primarily used for cooling electric motors and generators . Special water box double-tube heat exchangers are designed to prevent contamination from tube leaks , providing enhanced safety . FACO also excels in the design and production of finned block customized drycoolers , gas coolers , and aircondensers , with pipe headers & return bends or water box design . These are available in horizontal , vertical , V-shape , H-shape , and Smart-Box arrangements , providing flexibility to accommodate a variety of fluids , space requirements , noise emission , external load requirements , and operating scenarios . FACO genset radiators can be
Engineering expertise Thanks to its wide in-house engineering skills , supported by some design software , FACO is able to supply customized solutions according to the most stringent requirements . Thermo-fluid dynamics design process is usually driven by the proprietary FACO selection software that utilizes performance data acquired from in-house testing laboratory and from CFD simulations according to ASHRAE standards . FACO holds the AHRI Std . 410 certification for the performance of the water heat exchangers used in HVAC and refrigeration applications . The company has recently acquired a license for HTRI ® Xace software and has become a member of HTRI . By supplementing and enhancing the proprietary selection software , Xace may calculate , simulate and design air coolers and heat exchangers even under non-standard process conditions , to manage even more complex issues and meet all market ’ s demands . FACO employs Siemens AMESIM 0D-1D for an exceptionally detailed analysis of heat exchanger performance . This advanced tool - which considers the finned block as a set of discrete elements - allows to delve deeply into the intricacies of heat exchange processes , ensuring a meticulous assessment that aligns with the highest standards of accuracy . FACO leverages its in-house expertise to conduct comprehensive Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ) thermo-fluid
