Dry cooling systems do not involve water evaporation, leading to significant water savings.
• Closed-Loop System:
The fluid being cooled is recirculated within a closed loop, eliminating the need for make-up water and reducing water treatment costs.
• Reduced Maintenance:
The lack of water and water treatment reduces maintenance needs, including cleaning and corrosion-related issues.
• Suitable for various applications:
Dry cooling is used in industrial processes, power generation, and HVAC systems where water is scarce or environmental regulations restrict water use.
• Two main types:
• Direct Dry Cooling: Uses ambient air to directly condense steam or cool other fluids.
• Indirect Dry Cooling: Uses a heat exchanger to transfer heat from a fluid to a secondary fluid, which is then cooled by air.
