MODEL VARIANTS
FOR ANY
REQUIREMENT
Kelvion industrial air coolers and air heaters are designed for
use with water, steam, or oil as heating or cooling medium.
The heat exchangers are manufactured from individual
elliptical or round finned tubes, or from smooth tubes, or as
compact heat exchangers. Kelvion uses dedicated machines
and processes to produce the various finned-tube systems:
both for individual finned-tube production, as well as for compact heat exchangers. Kelvion manufactures these systems
completely in its own production plants.
The air heaters basically have a sliding tube sheet, so that the
tube bundle can expand independently of the connection frame.
The water-side and steam-side connections are installed such
that the expansion is not blocked. For air heaters for hot water,
separate reversal chambers can be used to compensate for the
thermal stress that results from the temperature difference
between entry and exit of the water.
Air coolers can also be equipped with a drip tray for condensate.
The model types provided will depend on customer
requirements and especially on the pressure relationships
prevailing in the system.
Model type D
Model type D is designed for greater pressures. This model fulfills
the relevant acceptance specifications. In all cases, the heatingor cooling-medium connections are provided as welding neck
flanges, in accordance with the required pressure level. Heating
and cooling surfaces consist of galvanized finned tubes. Here as
well, special versions are of course possible.
Special model types
With our special model types, Kelvion customers have extensive
opportunities for selection with respect to the version of the compartments, the tubes (rolled-in or welded-in), and the materials
and their coatings.
Model type R: removable compartment cover, welded-in tubes,
possibility of mechanically cleaning the tubes and
compartments
Model type S: removable compartments, rolled-in or welded-in
tubes, possibility of interior coating of the compartments,
possibility of mechanically cleaning the tubes and
compartments
Model type T: welded compartments that cannot be removed;
welded-in tubes
Model type E
Model type E is especially well suited for heat exchangers that
do not require special acceptance procedures. The heating and
cooling surfaces consist of hot-dip galvanized finned tubes.
Heating- or cooling-medium connections are provided as welding ends and are standard for this model type. If requested, however, welding neck flanges can also be installed. The air-side
connection frame is provided with a protective coating. Special
versions are likewise possible.

TAILORED DESIGN
The connection between the fins and the core tube has an
important effect on the thermal duty. Fins made of aluminum
or hot-dip galvanized steel are primarily used together with
core tubes manufactured from steel or stainless steel.
Aluminum can be easily worked and is also an especially good
conductor of heat. Steel as fin material enables particularly
robust, resistant tubes which can also be cleaned under
high pressure.
FE:
Elliptical finned tubes have a wide, stamped fin collar that
enables excellent heat transfer. Benefit: absolutely
insensitive to thermal and mechanical stress. Maximum
operating temperature: 360 C.
PI/HI:
For these models, the steel strip is wound onto the core
tube in spiral form. The following hot-dip galvanizing
assures effective thermal transfer and very good corrosion
protection. Maximum operating temperature: 360 C.
E-Fin:
Finned tubes of this type are rolled out of a pure-aluminum,
blank tube that is slid onto the core tube. The fins are stable,
easily cleaned, and suited for use with chemically aggressive
media and with temperatures up to 200 C.
G-Fin:
The G-Fin type involves a high-finned spiral finned tube. The
fins, consisting of aluminum or steel, are slot-anchored in the
core tube which makes this variant suitable for use under
great thermal and mechanical stresses.
S-Fin:
In this production process, the finned tubes made of seamless steel tubing are continuously welded with fins made of
steel strip wrapped helically onto the tubes. These tubes
can be employed up to 550 C.
L-Fin:
An L-shaped, pre-formed fin strip is wrapped in a spiral
around the core tube. This production technique provides a
large contact surface, and the heat is uniformly transferred
from the entire core tube surface to the fins. This process is
economical, but the systems are not designed for very high
temperatures.
