Stainless Steel Dry Cooler for Field Natural Gas Mining Skid-mounted Equipment

Skid-mounted equipment in natural gas mining: A modular, mobile system integrating key functions (e.g., gas compression, dehydration, desulfurization, or wellhead pressure regulation). It is designed for rapid deployment in remote field sites (e.g., deserts, plateaus, or wetland mining areas) where fixed infrastructure is lacking.

Dry cooler function: Unlike wet coolers that rely on water for heat exchange, dry coolers use ambient air directly to cool the heat-carrying medium (e.g., glycol solution, mineral oil, or process gas) in the skid-mounted system. Its core role is to control the temperature of critical processes/components to avoid overheating-induced equipment failure or safety risks (e.g., gas leakage due to high-temperature material deformation).

Stainless steel dry coolers are critical thermal management components in field natural gas mining skid-mounted equipment. Their design and performance are tailored to the harsh, mobile, and safety-critical environment of natural gas mining, making them an irreplaceable part of ensuring stable equipment operation and compliant gas production.

In field natural gas mining, stainless steel dry coolers are mainly used in 3 core skid-mounted systems:

Gas Compression Skids: Cool the lubricating oil of reciprocating/centrifugal compressors (prevents oil degradation at high temperatures, ensuring compression efficiency).

Dehydration Skids: Cool the triethylene glycol (TEG) solution (used to remove moisture from natural gas) after regeneration (high-temperature TEG needs cooling to re-enter the dehydration process).

Wellhead Choke Skids: Cool the high-temperature natural gas (heated by pressure reduction during choke throttling) to avoid overheating of downstream pipelines and valves.
