Vestas MonoBlock Charge Air Coolers

MonoBlock charge air coolers

Vestas produces its charge air coolers using a range of fin geometries.

There are details here of our Ultra Compact, Compact, Standard & Premium Tin Coated geometries.

Fewer parts = Fewer problems.

Limitations on the maximum size a fin can be produced traditionally led to a restriction of the width of the fin. Thus, coolers in the past are built with multiple smaller fin “elements”.

Vestas has extended its maximum fin width to 77 tubes wide, big enough for almost all size of coolers – we call it a “MonoBlock” element.

A MonoBlock combined with a full integral support plate means there is effectively a one-piece element. Fewer components means a more robust air cooler. Perfect where there is vibration.

C-Energy in Planá nad Lužnicí uses Vestas Charge Air Coolers

The energy supply in the Czech Republic should become greener. That is why a C-Energy power plant in South Bohemia is installing Rolls-Royce gas engines with Vestas aircoil charge air coolers. The engines are a 14 meters long and five meters high. They weigh around 170 tons. They are the largest and most powerful medium-speed engines that Rolls-Royce has ever developed and produced. This should set new standards in terms of performance and efficiency. This is because they should enable both extraordinarily low fuel consumption and low emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides and soot particles.
