Market Dynamics
Introduction
Air-cooled heat exchangers directly cool the various process mediums with ambient air as the cooling medium rather than water. These are made of finned tubes, within these tubes, various types of fluids are cooled or condensed. Air cooling eliminates the corrosion and fouling problems that are associated with water cooling. Selecting suitable tube materials can effectively cool or condense process fluids such as water, chemicals, or other heat transfer fluids.
Some Recent Market JVs and Acquisitions
- In 2021, Exchanger Industries Limited (“EIL”), one of the leading Canadian designers and manufacturers of heat transfer products acquired the HRS heat exchanger Ltd. The HRS heat exchanger Ltd. offers plate heat exchangers, corrugated tube heat exchangers, and scraped surface heat exchangers.
- In 2021, Enrequip acquired American Heating Company and expanded its heat exchangers product line. Enrequip’s updated product portfolio includes a variety of sanitary and industrial heating and cooling solutions, from shell and tube heat exchangers to industrial thermal fluid heaters and tank heating coils.
COVID-19 Impact
The air-cooled heat exchangers market depends on the organic growth of the various end-use industries, such as petrochemical & chemical, power generation, HVAC & refrigeration, oil & gas, and food & beverages. The pandemic impacted the demand for air-cooled heat exchangers, registering a decline of over 13% in the year 2020.
However, the demand remained plateau in 2021, driven by the resumption of major industries, such as petrochemical & chemical, power generation, oil & gas, and HVAC as well as increasing investment in manufacturing, commercial, and industrial projects by major economies.
