Dry Air Coolers with Adiabatic Assist

Adiabatic Cooling Systems are highly efficient, delivering desired cooling capacity while using less water than traditional evaporative units. They require less maintenance and have lower operating costs.

They are designed to lower the air temperature entering a dry air cooler to within 3 – 5° of the ambient Wet Bulb temperature, resulting in lower fluid temperatures than can be achieved with a standard dry air cooler. They are typically used for applications that can accept peak temperatures of 90 – 95°F and often require glycol for freeze protection (climate dependent).

Application Example: Read how Adiabatic coolers were installed at Hitchiner Manufacturing Co. as part of a new cooling system designed to reduce city water consumption. In this installation and others like it, using adiabatic coolers allow plants to reduce city water consumption. Cost savings are possible via reduced city water demands, eliminated electricity costs for filtration pumps and reduced maintenance due to fewer systems for cooling.  Click here to read the full article.
