Cooper Joy Compressor Cooler TA11000

1. Product Overview

The Cooper Joy Compressor Cooler TA11000 is a core heat exchange component specifically designed for large centrifugal oil-free air compressors, representing the premium product line of Cameron-Cooper-Joy Group (now part of Ingersoll Rand Industrial Technologies). This modular-designed cooler serves TA series high-power models including TA11000, providing intermediate cooling (Intercooler) and final stage cooling (Aftercooler) functions during multi-stage compression processes.

Its core value lies in reducing heat generated during compression from 400°C to within 15°C above ambient temperature through advanced heat transfer technology, ensuring compressed air quality meets ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil-free standards. The cooler features a dual-process finned tube structure with an effective heat exchange area of 4300m²/m³ per unit - 67% more efficient than traditional shell-and-tube coolers.

2. Technical Features and Data Specifications

2.1 Structural Innovations and Material Breakthroughs

3D Fin Matrix Technology: Computer-optimized serrated fin structure with 1.8mm fin spacing and 12.7mm height creates high turbulence channels, achieving 350W/(m²·K) air-side heat transfer coefficient - 40% improvement over conventional straight fins.

Composite Tube Material: 0.5mm thick copper-nickel alloy tube (CuNi90/10) inner layer with 1.2mm thick 316L stainless steel outer layer through explosive cladding process, combining corrosion resistance with copper's high thermal conductivity (200W/(m·K)).

Modular Design: Each cooler consists of 12 standard units, each independently pressure-rated at 16bar, enabling online replacement that reduces maintenance time by 80% compared to monolithic designs.
