Adiabatic Cooling Systems
Adiabatic Cooling Towers are virtually maintenance free and reduce operating and maintenance costs.
Adiabatic Cooling Towers
Adiabatic cooling towers (both wet and dry type operation) offer the lowest operating costs and are a recent addition to our standard cooling system designs. These cooling water towers offer minimal operating costs, having low or virtually no water consumption and are without the need of expensive chemicals, monitoring and registration.
Inductotherm can design and supply a complete water-cooling system using an adiabatic cooling tower, pumps, expansion tank, emergency backup water and controls. We design and size adiabatic cooling tower systems to replace existing old wet type industrial cooling towers. The Hybrid adiabatic cooling towers are TOTALLY SAFE FOR HUMAN HEALTH. There is no stagnation of warm water and there is no risk of the generation of Legionella.
Two Working Modes
Adiabatic cooling towers have two working modes: Dry and Adiabatic. “Dry Mode” can be run during most of the year. During this mode, the cooler operates as a dry-cooler with no water consumption. The heat transferred by the water is dissipated in the ambient air by convection aided by the fans. The mist sprays in “Adiabatic Mode” are automatically activated when there are periods of high ambient temperature when the dry mode is not able to maintain the required outlet water temperature.
The benefits of the Adiabatic Coolers are:
- Low Running Costs
- No chemicals or chemical monitoring required
- No Registration required for most councils
- Low or no water consumption
Features
Energy/Low Running Cost
Inductotherm design the fan controls to turn on fans in stages and only operate when required to maintain the desired operating fluid temperature resulting in reduced electrical power cost.
Water/Low or No Water Consumption
The hybrid adiabatic cooling towers use a fine spray of water only during the hottest months of the year when process fluid and ambient air temperatures dictate. As a result, hybrid adiabatic cooling water towers consume as little as 5% of the water as compared to a traditional evaporative cooling towers.
Health/No Chemicals
Hybrid adiabatic cooling towers eliminate the standing water found in evaporative cooling towers. This eliminates one of the primary breeding grounds for Legionella pneumophila – the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease.
