In 2015, Kelvion Thermal Services were contacted by a French Gas Storage site, who were facing cooling capacity issues with their Gas Cooler, especially during summer time when ambient temperatures are extremely high.
After performing a site audit to measure the actual performance of the Gas Cooler, the following was observed by Kelvion ► Airflow was found to be 25% lower than design, ► Coolers were designed for relatively low ambient temperature (30°C versus a maximum of 37°C for this region) Kelvion Servies modified the Gas Cooler by upgrading the following parts: ► Complete fan set ► New motor and gearbox ► New fan shaft with top and bottom bearings ► New anti-rotating device ► New electrical cabinet Results: After upgrading the coolers, new site measurements showed that airflow was increased by 35% and the outlet process temperature decreased by 4°C - 5°C. End-user was fully satisfied with the revamp, being able to operate the coolers without any issues during the summer time.
