- A heat exchanger, typically with fins or tubes, is used to transfer heat from the fluid being cooled to the circulating air.
- Air is drawn across the heat exchanger by fans, absorbing the heat.
- The heated air is then expelled into the environment.
Advantages:
- Water conservation: Significant water savings compared to wet cooling systems.
- Reduced maintenance: Lower maintenance costs due to the closed-loop system and lack of water.
- Environmental benefits: Reduced water consumption and reduced environmental impact.
