Description
American Industrial Heat Transfer AC-30-3 Air Cooled Heat Exchanger 300 PSI 400°F
The American Industrial Heat Transfer AC-30-3 is a forced-air heat exchanger designed for cooling industrial fluids — most commonly hydraulic oil, lubrication oil, or water-glycol coolant — by passing the fluid through an internal tube bundle while a motor-driven fan draws ambient air across the finned core. It is a self-contained, all-in-one cooling unit combining the heat exchange core and fan assembly in a single compact housing, making it straightforward to integrate into hydraulic power units, machine tool systems, or industrial process loops.

Applications
Air cooled heat exchangers like the AC-30-3 are standard equipment in industrial hydraulic and lubrication systems, where they remove heat generated by pumps, actuators, and valves to keep fluid temperatures within the system's operating range. They are commonly used on hydraulic power units (HPUs), CNC machine tools, injection molding machines, industrial presses, compressors, and other machinery where water cooling is impractical or unavailable. The forced-air design — a finned tube core with a motor-driven fan — requires only an electrical connection and fluid plumbing, with no cooling water supply needed. American Industrial Heat Transfer, based in Zion, Illinois, has been a well-known North American manufacturer of this type of industrial heat exchanger. Units like the AC-30-3 continue to see active use in plant maintenance, machine rebuilds, and replacement applications across a wide range of industries.
This American Industrial Heat Transfer AC-30-3 Air Cooled Heat Exchanger has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility, but the unit shows no signs of major damage — the fin core, housing, and fan assembly all look intact. The gray painted housing shows typical surface scuffs and light wear consistent with industrial service use. The Marathon Electric fan motor and attached hose connections are present as shown in the photos. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
