Air blast cooler sometimes known as Dry Air Coolers, these are ideally suited for a whole range of cooling applications where closed circuit cooling is desirable and cooling to within 3ºC of the prevailing ambient temperature is acceptable all year round. Air Blast Coolers are a practical and cost effective alternative to Water Cooling Towers, which by law have to conform to ACOP L8. The costs of conformance are steep and include:


♦ Chemical treatment to guard against Legionella

♦ Water softening to prevent lime scale formation

♦ Treatment and safe disposal of effluent resulting from routine cleaning and draining

♦ Water losses and make up due to constant evaporation can also be a significant operational cost.

Features

♦ Each will be individually selected to match the load conditions and various configurations are available to meet space and noise limitations.

♦ Single units can be provided in capacities from 5kW to 2000kW and they can be inter-connected to reach many thousands of kilowatts.

♦ Control of the water temperature is regulated, by controlling fan speed, according to the prevailing ambient temperature.
