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.

Segments Analysis

By End-Use Industry Type

"Power generation and petrochemical & chemical are projected to remain the dominant end-use industries during the forecast period."

• The market is segmented into oil & gas, petrochemical & chemical, food & beverage, power generation, HVAC & refrigeration, water & wastewater, pharmaceuticals, marine & shipbuilding, and others. Power generation and petrochemical & chemical are projected to remain the dominant end-use industries during the forecast period.

• HVAC & refrigeration and oil & gas industries also create sizeable opportunities in the coming years. Air-cooled heat exchangers have several advantages, such as no water requirement, high heat transfer coefficient, smaller footprint, lower maintenance costs than water-cooled systems, and suitability for high-temperature and high-pressure applications, which drive their demand in the power generation and petrochemical & chemical segments.
