The GC gas cooler platform pairs a removable straight-tube bundle with proven shell-side baffling, and this configuration applies that design to water-cooled gas cooling. Hot gas passes through the tubes against cooling water in the baffled shell, and the unit shares the removable-bundle construction of the OC series. Physically, the unit runs a 12-inch shell, 87-inch shell length. It carries 5/8-inch O.D. tubes. That combination is cataloged as 5-153-12-087-002. Material selection covers cast iron bonnets, steel shell, steel tubes, and steel tubesheets. Operating limits are 1000°F maximum temperature. Common applications are process gas cooling, blower and vapor cooling duty, and compressor discharge gas cooling. Small-diameter tubing maximizes surface in a given shell, and alternate tube alloys are available for corrosive gas streams.
