Compressors inter- and after-coolers

Applications Two principal applications are rotating equipment oil coolers and compressor inter- and after-coolers. Although seemingly different applications, both rely on the shellside finning to enhance the heat transfer of low heat-transfer characteristic fluids. 

Common TEMA designations are AET and BET, and typical applications include exchangers handling chemical fluids, hydrocarbon fluid condensers, air or gas compressors, and inter-and after-coolers.
