[[File:Air-blast coolers.jpg|thumb|right|Air Blast Coolers]] | |||
'''Air Blast Cooler''' sometimes known as [[Dry 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 [[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. | |||
