Dry Fluid Cooler vs. Cooling Tower vs. Fluid Cooler This is a common point of confusion. Here’s the breakdown: Feature Dry Fluid Cooler Evaporative (Open) Cooling Tower Fluid Cooler (Closed-Circuit Cooling Tower) Heat Transfer Method Sensible Only (air cools fluid) Latent (Evaporative) (water evaporates) Sensible + Latent (Hybrid)...

Working Principle of Dry Fluid Cooler A Dry Fluid Cooler works on the principle of sensible heat transfer. It uses ambient air to cool a process fluid without the fluid and air ever coming into direct contact. The heat is rejected solely through the transfer of thermal energy (sensible heat) from the hot fluid to the […]

What is Dry Fluid Cooler A Dry Fluid Cooler (also known as a Dry Cooler or Air Cooled Heat Exchanger) is a device that cools a process fluid (most commonly water or a water-glycol mixture) using ambient air. The key characteristic is that the process fluid never directly contacts the cooling air; it remains contained...
