Abstract

See full text

An air-cooled heat exchanger includes a housing having an intake for air flowing through the housing and at least one outlet for the air flowing through the housing. A set of segmented fins extend within the housing between the intake and the at least one outlet, configured to direct the air flowing through the housing. Each segment of the segmented fins has a length selected based on a throw distance for an environmental protection coating process employed to apply an environmental protection coating to surfaces of the fin segments. Access ports extend through at least one wall of the housing at locations allowing connection, when the access ports are unblocked, of electrical conductors used in the environmental protection coating process to both ends of each of the fin segments. Access port covers block each of the access ports during operation of the air-cooled heat exchanger.
