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...

Comparison of Adiabatic Cooling Tower Vs Evaporative (Wet) Cooling Tower Vs  Dry Cooler / Air Cooler Feature Adiabatic Cooling Tower Evaporative (Wet) Cooling Tower Dry Cooler / Air Cooler Principle Hybrid: Adiabatic pre-cooling + sensible heat transfer Full evaporative cooling Sensible heat transfer only Process Circuit Closed-loop (fluid is...

Why Choose an Adiabatic Cooler for These Applications? (Summary of Advantages) Application Need How Adiabatic Cooling Meets It High Efficiency in Hot Weather Pre-cooling air allows for heat rejection near the wet-bulb temperature. Water Conservation Uses up to 80% less water than an open evaporative tower. System Protection Closed loop prevents...
