Advantages of Dry Cooler with adiabatic pre-cooling Massive Water Savings: Uses up to 80-95% less water than a traditional evaporative
- cooling tower because water is only used during the hottest hours of the year.
- High Efficiency in Heat Waves: Provides the performance of a much larger dry cooler or even a cooling tower during critical peak temperature events, preventing process shutdowns or loss of efficiency.
- Smaller Footprint: Because the adiabatic effect boosts capacity, you can often select a smaller physical unit than a standard dry cooler needed for the same peak load, saving space.
- No Legionella Risk for Process Fluid: The process fluid remains in a closed loop, isolated from the water and air. The adiabatic system’s water is a separate, potable water circuit, and while it should be maintained, it does not pose a risk to the primary system.
- Energy Savings: By maintaining a cooler process fluid temperature on hot days, it reduces the energy consumption of associated equipment (e.g., chillers, pumps).
