it. The Model F was the first horizontal coil, multiple vertical fan cooler

Compact, unitized cooling combines engine, compressor, and multiple-stage gas cooling in a single unit with a v-belt drive. The independent adjustment of louvers over separate services provides superior air-flow characteristics and increased operating efficiency. Manually operated or automatic temperature controlled louvers may be used to control fluid temperature.

Current trends in the design of engine compressor units are toward larger horsepower packages. The Model F Cooler is ideally suited to accommodate the greater cooling requirements of these packages.

| The Model F design simplifies shipping and installation. It also cuts shipping costs because special transportation equipment and routing are minimized. |
This single skid design eliminates the expense and inconvenience of a separate "T-skid" arrangement. It can eliminate costly drive and piping disassembly and field re-assembly in certain applications.
Rating procedures used in the design process normally result in nozzle arrangements that facilitate installation and reduce piping costs. The rating procedures result in designs that provide for greater accessibility to piping, drive, bearings, and coils. An increased open area makes engine inspection and maintenance easier. Remote grease fittings permit lubrication while in operation.
Forced draft EH units are inherently more efficient than induced draft coolers. The forced draft design uses less horsepower by handling cooler ambient air of greater density. And the forced draft design is safer than induced draft coolers. It provides for excellent visual inspection and easy access to all moving parts.
Designed to withstand severe installation conditions, each air-x-changer receives both prime and finished coats of high-abrasion-resistant enamel. A variety of optional primers, finishes, or galvanizing enables units to withstand extreme operating conditions from desert to wet to arctic environments.
