Product overviewWater-cooled aftercooler ACW series is designed to reduce the temperature of compressed air and thus remove water vapour from compressed air systems. Hot compressed air or gas flows inside tubes while cooling water circulates around the tubes in counter-flow. The ACW series protects downstream equipment such as refrigeration dryers, adsorption dryers and filters by ensuring lower outlet air temperature and reduced moisture content.
CharacteristicsOperating pressure: 10 bar
Air connections: DN100 to DN300
Water connections: DN32 to DN100
Operating temperature range: 1.5 to 200 °C
Flow rate: 510 to 12,550 Nm3/h
Standard colour: RAL 9005
Applications- Automotive
- Electronics
- Food & Beverage

- General industrial application
Technical dataSIZING CONDITIONSCompressed air flow referenced at 7 bar(g) working pressure and 50 °C inlet temperature (100% saturated). Compressed air outlet temperature is specified as 10 °C higher than inlet cooling water temperature. Cooling water differential temperature: 5 °C.
CONDITIONSShell side (water): max. pressure 10 bar, temperature range -10 °C to 90 °C.
Tube side (air/gas): max. pressure 10 bar, temperature range -10 °C to 200 °C.
REMARKSMultiple models are available to cover different flow rates. Options are offered for higher maximum pressure and higher maximum inlet temperature.
