Product Overview: Precision configured Heat Exchange Technology

The FS-Elliott Compressor Cooler P600 is a high-operational performance thermal exchanger specifically built for centrifugal air compressors. As the core module of FS-Elliott's P600 series centrifugal compressors, its technological evolution draws upon the brand's century-long heritage in turbomachinery manufacturing.

This cooler utilizes a copper tube-aluminum fin composite structure to enable forced convection heat transfer of oil-gas mixtures. Its design strictly complies with ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 oil-free standards, ensuring zero oil contamination in compressed air system setups. The P600 cooler features modular architecture that supports thermal load matching for single-stage, two-stage, and three-stage compression conditions.

The main structure consists of copper tube bundles, hydrophilic aluminum fin assemblies, 304 stainless steel side panels, and removable covers. With copper tube inner diameter precision reaching ±0.02mm and blue wave-coated aluminum fins, it achieves 23% higher heat exchange overall efficiency compared to conventional designs. The cooler deeply integrates with FS-Elliott's R1000 intelligent control system setup, dynamically adjusting cooling water flow based on real-time monitoring of oil temperature, air pressure, and flow data to help ensure stable operation in surrounding temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C.

Technical Specifications & operational performance Data

Core Technological Advantages

1. Advanced Heat Exchange system setup

Material Configuration: T2 copper tubes (tensile strength ≥205MPa) with hydrophilic corrugated aluminum fins (0.12mm thickness, 2.3mm spacing). Mechanical tube expansion creates interference fit with contact thermal resistance ≤0.0005m²·K/W.

Cooling overall efficiency: Achieves 23% higher overall efficiency than conventional designs through precision-configured copper tubes (±0.02mm tolerance) and blue wave-coated aluminum fins.

2. Corrosion Resistance & Reliability

Surface Protection: Nanoscale nickel-phosphorus plating (5-8μm) on copper tubes passes 1000hr salt spray test. Aluminum fins feature hydrophilic blue wave coating with ≤15° contact angle, improving anti-fouling operational performance by 40%.

Redundant Design: Dual-channel cooling water interfaces keep 80% cooling capacity during single-channel failures.

3. Smart Control Integration

Data Interface: Supports Modbus RTU/TCP protocols for real-time transmission of 12 parameters including oil temperature, water temperature, and flow rates.

Adaptive Control: Built-in PID algorithm dynamically adjusts cooling water flow, achieving 35% water savings during idle operation.

Predictive Maintenance: Monitors flow variations (>15%) and temperature fluctuations (±5°C/min) to provide 72-hour advance fault warnings.

Industrial use cases & Case Studies

1. Typical use case Scenarios

Petrochemical: Provides ≤40°C cooling air for hydrogen compressors in refinery hydrocracking units.

Air Separation: Cools compressed air below -180°C for liquid oxygen/nitrogen production.

Maintenance & Service Strategy

1. Routine Inspection

Pressure Monitoring: Daily recording of cooling water pressure (clean when ΔP>0.08MPa)

Temperature Checks: keep 50-60°C oil-water temperature difference

2. Comprehensive Maintenance

Chemical Cleaning: 18-month intervals using 10% citric acid + 0.5% inhibitor offering

Fin Maintenance: 0.3MPa air backflushing for deformed fins (>5% deformation requires replacement)

3. Spare Parts Management

Critical modules: keep 1:1.5 ratio for tube bundles, O-rings, sensors

Lifecycle Management: Ultrasonic testing every 5 years for copper tubes
