Sullair Compressor InterCooler

1. Product Overview: Core Thermal Management Unit for Multi-Stage Compression Systems

The Sullair Compressor InterCooler (hereinafter referred to as Sullair intercooler) is an interstage cooling device specifically designed for multi-stage compressed air systems. Its core function is to reduce heat accumulation during the compression process, ensuring system operational efficiency and equipment longevity.

Key Features:

• Modular design concept compatible with three mainstream structures: shell-and-tube, corrugated plate, and air-cooled types
• Example water-cooled model features 316L stainless steel cooling tube bundles with spiral baffle design
• Heat exchange efficiency exceeding 92% while maintaining corrosion resistance

2. Technical Specifications and Data-Driven Description

2.1 Structural Innovations and Material Applications

Type	Specifications	Performance Data
Shell-and-Tube Intercooler	Double-tube pass spiral wound structure	Total heat transfer coefficient reaches 850W/(m²·K) at 2.8m/s cooling water velocity
Corrugated Plate Intercooler	Herringbone corrugated plate stacking forming 3D turbulent channels	40% higher heat transfer efficiency than traditional flat plates with same heat exchange area
Air-Cooled Intercooler	Counterflow aerodynamic design with EC variable frequency fans	Maintains ≤15℃ temperature difference between outlet and inlet air at 40℃ ambient temperature

2.2 Performance Parameters and Control Logic

• Temperature Control Precision: Built-in PID temperature control module enables ±2℃ precise adjustment
• Pressure Adaptability: Stable operation within 0.8-3.5MPa pressure range through elastic sealing structure and pressure compensation valve combination design
• Energy Efficiency Optimization: Multi-stage variable flow control technology dynamically adjusts cooling medium flow according to load changes

3. Application Scenarios and Typical Cases

3.1 Industrial Gas Compression Field
