STANDARD AIRFIN COOLER SPECIFICATION Mar 21, 2006
Page 1 of 11

The Flowserve Airfin Cooler is designed to remove between 5,000 and 50,000 BTU/hr [1,5 to 14,7 kW] of
heat from a process fluid flowing up to 5 gpm [19 L/min]. These units are a viable solution for removing
seal generated heat or cooling seal flush fluid when no cooling water is available, or the temperature rise
of the cooling water through a liquid-to-liquid exchanger would be too high.

The units is comprised of a motor-driven blower that forces ambient air past a single pass of finned tubing
through which the product fluid flows.

Effects of bending:

The tubing is bent about a radius of 3.825” [97,2mm]. In general, pipe or tube is considered “heavy wall”
for purposes of bending if the ratio of the wall thickness to the OD is greater than 0.15. For our case this
ratio is 0.78, so we do not have a heavy wall case. A recommended minimum bend radius is 3.5d, or
2.187” [55,6mm], which we exceed2. Therefore we incur no pressure derating due to bending.

Brazed Finned Tubing

Brazed finned tubing provides a solid metallurgical bond between fin and tube, making it ideal for rigorous,
high-temperature applications. When the tube expands or shrinks due to temperature changes, the
brazed bond never relaxes its grip. Brazed fins are rated to 1500°F [815°C], whereas edge tension
wrapped finned tubing is rated to 250°F [121°C].

TECHNICAL VOCABULARY:

Electrical enclosures:

Enclosures are described fully by NEMA (National Electric Manufacturer’s Association) Standard 250-
2003, Enclosures for Electrical Equipment (1000 Volts Maximum).

Class I, Group D: Atmospheres such as acetone, ammonia, benzene, butane, cyclopropane, ethanol,
gasoline, hexane, methane, natural gas, naphtha, propane, or gases or vapors of
equivalent hazard.
Class II Groups F: Atmospheres containing carbonaceous dusts, including carbon black, charcoal, coal,
or coke dusts that have more than 8 percent total entrapped volatiles, or dusts that
have been sensitized by other materials so that they present an explosion hazard.
Class II, Group G: Atmospheres containing combustible dusts not included in Group E or F, including
flour, grain, wood, plastic, and chemicals.

ATEX (

IEC 60529, Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures:

Ingress Protection 56 (IP56) refers to an IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) "Degree of

Protection". IP56 specifies 5=protected against access with a wire of 1.0 mm diameter and dust,
6=protection against powerful jetting water from any direction. IP56 is generally accepted to be
equivalent to NEMA enclosure 4, which is intended for indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree
of protection against windblown dust and rain, splashing water, hose-directed water, and damage from
external ice formation. Our motors are explosion proof, which is essentially NEMA 7. An explosion proof
motor would certainly meet the requirements of IP56.

Voltage ratings:

Standard voltages are 115/208-230V or 208-230/460V at 60 Hertz. Dual voltage motors are easily
reconnected from information shown on the nameplate of the motor. Motors rated at 230 volts will
operate on a 208 volt network for most applications that have nominal starting torque requirements.
Starting torque and peak running torque at 208 volts will be 20-25% less than at the 230 volt level.
Motors nameplated 115/208-230 or 208-230/460 volts will operate successfully at 208 volts but the
motors may not meet NEMA specifications.

Motor insulation and KVA code:

An electric motor's insulation system separates electrical components from each other, preventing short
circuits and thus, winding burnout and failure. Insulation's major enemy is heat, so it's important to be
sure to keep the motor within temperature limits. There is a rule of thumb that says a 10 degree Celsius
(1299 degrees Fahrenheit) rise reduces the insulation's useful life by half, while a 10 degree Celsius (50
degrees Fahrenheit) decrease doubles the insulation's life. This implies that if you can keep a motor cool
enough, the windings will last forever, which ignores factors like moisture, vibration, chemicals and
abrasives in the air that also attack insulation systems.
The real issue is at what temperature the motor windings are designed to operate for a long and
predictable insulation life—20,000 hours or more. NEMA, the National Electrical Manufacturers
Association, sets temperature standards based on thermal classes:

A: 105° C (221° F)

B: 130° C (266° F)
F: 155° C (311° F)
H: 180° C (356° F)

When AC motors are started with full voltage (Across-the-Line Starting), they draw line amperage 300%
to 600% greater than their full load running current. The magnitude of the “inrush current” (also called
locked rotor amps or LRA) is determined by motor horsepower and design characteristics. To define
inrush characteristics and present them in a simplified form, code letters are used. Code letters group
motors depending on the range of inrush values and express the inrush in terms of KVA (Kilovolt
Amperes). By using the Kilovolt ampere basis, a single letter can be used to define both the low and high
voltage inrush values on dual voltage motors.
The code letter designations and their values:

APPROX. APPROX.
CODE KVA/HP CODE KVA/HP
MID-RANGE MID-RANGE
LETTER RANGE LETTER RANGE
VALUE VALUE
A 0.00 - 3.14 1.6 J 7.10 - 7.99 7.5
B 3.15 - 3.54 3.3 K 8.00 - 8.99 8.5
C 3.55 - 3.99 3.8 L 9.00 - 9.99 9.5
D 4.00 - 4.49 4.3 M 10.00 - 11.19 10.6
E 4.50 - 4.99 4.7 N 11.20 - 12.49 11.8
F 5.00 - 5.59 5.3 0 12.50 - 13.99 13.2
G 5.60 - 6.29 5.9 R 14.00 - 15.99 15.0
H 6.30 - 7.09 6.7

To determine starting inrush amperes from the code letter, the code letter value (usually the mid-range
value is adequate), horsepower and rated operating voltage are inserted in the appropriate equation. The
equation to be used is determined by whether the motor is single or three phase.

Inrush Amps (1φ) =

(Code Letter Value) ⋅ 1000 ⋅ hp
(Rated Voltage)
Inrush Amps (3φ) =
(Code Letter Value) ⋅ 577 ⋅ hp

U.L. (Underwriters Laboratory) certification:

This is one of the most common UL Marks. If a product carries this Mark, it means UL found that
representative samples of this product met UL's safety requirements. These requirements are primarily
based on UL's own published Standards for Safety.

CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification:

Motors are CSA certified for both explosion proof proof enclosures.

Brazing is a welding process that allows the joining of similar or dissimilar metals by using a third metal
with a lower melting point as the “glue.” In brazing, a thin film of filler metal is sucked into the joints by
capillary action. The base metals (the metals you are attempting to join) are never actually melted as in
conventional welding, but the base metal must reach the proper temperature to allow molecular bonding
with the filler metal.
