The Heat Exchange Institute (HEI) has released the first edition of Standards for Air Cooled Condensers. The Standard offers technical information from the combined expertise of the members of the HEI Air Cooled Condenser Section and includes typical purchaser requirements. In addition, the standard outlines the important design criteria for air cooled condensers and provides practical information on nomenclature, dimensions, testing, and performance.

The HEI is a non-profit trade association committed to the technical advancement, promotion, and understanding of a broad range of utility and industrial-scale heat exchange and vacuum apparatus. The Institute concentrates its efforts on manufacturing and engineering aspects of steam surface condensers, air cooled condensers, closed feedwater heaters, shell and tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, liquid ring vacuum pumps, steam jet ejectors, and deaerators.

The HEI has earned international recognition as the leading authority on the technologies for heat exchange and vacuum apparatus. HEI Standards are used throughout the world for the design, manufacture, and operation of HEI scope equipment.
