Hot air recirculation
For one of our refinery project we have come across an interesting problem. One air fin cooler (AFC-1) is resting on top of piperack & other one (AFC-2) is resting on top of structure. Height of structure is 3m more than piperack and same is in downwind direction. Both AFCs are horizontally 12m apart & elevation difference is 3m. The AFC -1 resting on piperack is exhausting hot air of 81 degrees. Is it possible that hot air will be recirculated & same will be sucked by AFC-2 resting on structure ? It may affect performance of AFC-2. If yes, what kind of solution would be feasible ? Thermal design of AFC can not be changed. Regards,
