Product
Air Cooled Heat Exchangers (Fin Fan Coolers)
Air cooled heat exchangers are where our export work has grown fastest. We fin our own tubes on three extruded finning machines and an embedded finning machine, up to 16 m long, and have shipped modules to ADNOC through Target, to PDO Oman through NOV and to NNPC through Global Processing Systems. EIL approved us for air-cooled exchangers in 2023.
Why customers choose it
Finning in-house
Extruded and embedded G, L, LL and KL fins on tubes up to 16 m long.
Sized for hot climates
Designed for the high ambient temperatures of Gulf and desert sites.
Exotic alloys
Carbon steel, SS 316L and Incoloy 825 bundles already in service.
Cold climates too
Since 2024 we also build winterised air coolers for sub-zero sites.

Types and configurations
Forced draft
Fans below the bundle; simple to maintain.
Induced draft
Fans above the bundle; better air distribution.
Winterised units
With recirculation and heating for freezing climates.

Questions buyers ask us
Have you supplied air coolers to the Gulf before?
Yes. Recent examples include Incoloy 825 air coolers for ADNOC through Target, SS 316L units for PDO Oman through NOV, and three carbon steel modules for projects in Jordan.
Do you ship to the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC?
Yes. Both our factories are in Coimbatore, about 195 km from Cochin port, with Tuticorin and Chennai also within reach. We pack for sea transport and ship to ports such as Jebel Ali, Khalifa Port, Dammam, Jubail, Sohar, Hamad and Shuwaikh. Our equipment is already in service with ADNOC, PDO Oman, OQ, QAPCO, Kuwait Oil Company and Ma'aden.
Can our inspector or a third-party agency witness the tests?
Of course. We regularly work with Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register, TÜV NORD, SGS, HSB and other agencies, and your own inspector is welcome at any stage.
