    Air Cooler Size Estimation: Step Calculation

    Uploaded by

    maciel
    The document provides calculations to estimate the size parameters of three air coolers based on their duty, fluid temperatures and pressures, ambient temperatures, and other heat transfer properties. It calculates values like bare tube surface area, tube length, number of tubes, cooler width, fan power requirements, number of fans, and estimated weight for each cooler.
