What Is A Tubular Cooler?

A tubular cooler is a commonly used heat exchange device, usually used to cool or heat a fluid. It consists of a set of tubes arranged at parallel or oblique angles, and the cooling medium or the cooled medium flows inside these tubes. Cooling or heating of the fluid is achieved by transferring heat between the tube and the air.

The main purpose of using tubular coolers in ships is to cool the heat generated by the main engine and auxiliary engine of the ship. By introducing cooling water into the tubular cooler, the heat generated by the main engine and auxiliary engine can be absorbed and discharged outside the ship to maintain the temperature and pressure stability inside the ship, while extending the service life of the equipment.

The ship's cooling water system introduces the cooling water into the tubular cooler, carries out heat exchange with the heat generated by the main engine and the auxiliary engine, transfers the heat to the cooling water, and then drains the cooled water out of the ship. This process can be controlled by an automated control system that ensures that the temperature and pressure inside the vessel are kept within normal ranges.

The tubular cooler also needs regular maintenance and maintenance to ensure its normal operation and use effect. For example, it is necessary to regularly check the sealing and cooling effect of the cooler, and clean up the sediment and dirt inside the cooler.
