Sullair Compressor Cooler TXZ165

1. Product Overview: Core Component of Precision Thermal Management

The Sullair Compressor Cooler TXZ165 is specifically engineered for industrial centrifugal air compressors, serving as a critical component in Sullair TX series water-cooled oil-free centrifugal air compressor systems. This heat exchanger utilizes circulating water to efficiently dissipate heat generated during compressor operation, maintaining host machine temperatures below 85°C to prevent overheating-related shutdowns or component damage.

Technically, the TXZ165 features a dual-channel counterflow design with titanium alloy tube bundles and stainless steel end caps, offering exceptional corrosion resistance and high pressure tolerance. With water-side pressure resistance up to 1.6MPa and air handling capacity covering 1500-4500m³/h flow rates, it's compatible with 150-425kW host machines. Its modular design enables direct integration with Sullair TX series compressors to form closed cooling loop systems.
