It is critical that your fan is properly installed to ensure that you have the proper pitch, tracking, tip clearance, and alignment in order to maximize the performance and reliability of your fans. Also, when Chart installs your fans, we extend the length of our warranty at no additional cost.

Chart can assist you with analyzing your current mechanical performance by providing Air Side Performance Testing in accordance with ASME PTC-30 standards, Equipment Vibration Analysis, and noise testing all utilizing our custom designed analytics and equipment.

If you need better performance from your air-cooled heat exchanger, air cooled steam condensers (ACCs), and compression coolers, Chart can design a new fan and mechanical system to improve performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. Chart can also show you how the improvement will affect your unit by conducting an HTRI performance re-rate. Also, our Fin-Fan bearings, branded drive belt systems, parabolic inlet bells, tip seals, louvers, anti-rotation devices are all performance accessories to improve the maintenance life-cycle of the equipment and dramatically increase unit air flow performance.

We’ll tell you how to improve the energy efficiency of your air-cooled heat exchanger and axial flow fans.

From supervision through to complete installation and start-up, our experienced team is with you during installation, commissioning and start-up.

One of the most common performance problems with air-cooled heat exchangers is underperformance due to airborne contaminants fouling the air side of the finned tubes. Our proprietary dry cleaning system does not use harsh foams, chemicals, water, or detergents that can damage your fins and mechanicals. The cleaning system allows the ability to clean induced draft air-cooled heat exchanger online while the fans will need to be shutdown in a forced draft unit. Also, tube fouling occurs from the bottom side of the tubes and unlike foams and detergents, the Chart system cleans from the bottom (air-side) and not from the top down. Therefore, it is more effective in cleaning where the actual fouling is located. Also, it is safe, environmentally friendly, non-destructive to the equipment, and proven to be the most effective in the industry at restoring unit performance. Cleaning services can be offered on a routine maintenance schedule to ensure continuous performance.e finned tube degradation. Upgrade to Hudson Hy-Fin® Extruded Fin Tubes to increase heat transfer efficiency and unit performance. Hudson can also provide Hudson’s unique Hy-Fin® Extruded Serrated Design to provide additional performance over the original design.

Chart does not recommend using foams, chemicals, detergents, or water as these methods may damage mechanicals or the tubes, and may cause scaling that could affect thermal performance of the equipment.

We’ll assess the performance of existing tube bundles with proprietary single tube testing analyses, to calculate finned tube degradation. Upgrade to Hudson Hy-Fin® Extruded Fin Tubes to increase heat transfer efficiency and unit performance. Hudson can also provide Hudson’s unique Hy-Fin® Extruded Serrated Design to provide additional performance over the original design.

Our expedient response to clients with scheduled or unscheduled plant shutdowns or urgent bundle repairs is well known. We can provide full replacement bundles or re-tubing for any brand of air cooled exchanger in short notice with accelerated completion schedules.

When shop repairs are not an option, Chart will send an experienced team to site and repair the unit in situ

A common problem in plant air cooler equipment when the hot exhaust air recirculates into the inlet and reduces performance. Solutions are often simple but difficult to predict, but through smoke testing and/or proprietary Computational Fluid Dynamics software, we’ll analyze various solutions and offer you the optimum fix.

We’ll help you expedite your turn around by conducting a full air-cooled heat exchanger and axial fan inspection beforehand.

We can participate in your turn around by installing and upgrading your fans, conducting maintenance on your air-cooled heat exchangers, cleaning the fins of your air-cooled heat exchangers, work in an advisory role, or commissioning your air-cooled heat exchangers.

Huge parts inventory and direct factory warehouse access for anything we don’t stock. Total supply for all Hudson, Smithco and Chart brands including extended inventory for legacy brands Happy Division, Tri-Thermal, Esex, Conrad, Goodfellow and Western.
