Design Industry Leading Design Quality CPI created and employed a proprietary computer design program for Air Cooled Heat Exchangers in the early 1960s when others used a series of printed curves to create rough cooler sizes. The CPI program has since been broadened and updated continually since its inception. Our proprietary design program not only generates complete ACHE ratings with API-661 data sheets, but prices the cooler at the same time. This allows CPI to test options for cost, energy consumption, noise or any combination without resorting to multiple programs. CPI is a member of HTRI, so we cross-check our designs with HTRI programs to confirm heat exchange and pressure drop performance. High Pressure Jobs Since 1961, Cooling Products has had over 4300 jobs; some fifteen percent of these jobs involved services with design pressures between 1000 PSI & 2000 PSI, and as high as 11,500 PSI. Since these jobs are too numerous to detail, please refer to our basic customer list below for companies having received coolers with ASME Code design pressures less than 2000 PSI. All jobs listed were ASME Section VIII code stamped. All pressures shown are ASME design pressures; thus all coolers were hydrotested at the higher pressure required by ASME code.

Finned Tubes We provide the industry standard in fins that are provided on CPI equipment. We pressure clean the base tubes before finning to prevent contact interference and to ensure maximum heat transfer and minimum thermal resistance. We build L-fins, the most cost efficient type for benign environments and average temperature applications. Our fins are spirally wound under tension, checked for contact integrity, and produced with cast zinc end bands to prevent loss of tension. Our embedded fins, which are suited for high temperature applications, have the aluminum edge fitted into a spiral groove in the process tube wall. Temperatures in excess of 500F are the most common use of this fin type. Extruded fins Our extruded fins are checked for profile, tension, and bond, included cutting and destroying randomly selected tubes from every production run. Extruded fins are best for corrosive environments or higher process temperatures requiring alloy inner tubes where cutting into the tube wall is costly. Our extruded fins are manufactured from a single piece of outer aluminum tubing. The high pressure, exacting process cuts and raises the multiple fins per inch, while stretching and mechanically bonding the outer aluminum to the inner tube. Built by CCC.
