Open Cooling Tower Open cooling towers discharge heat from water-cooled systems into the atmosphere. The hot process water is distributed over a fill pack (heat transfer media) to interface with air blown by a fan through the cooling tower. During this evaporative cooling, a small part of the water evaporates while cooling the remaining process water. |

Closed Circuit Cooling Tower Closed circuit cooling towers or fluid coolers operate just like the open type, but dissipate the process fluid heat load into the ambient air via a heat exchange coil. This isolates the process fluid from the outside air, keeping it clean and free of contamination.

Hybrid (wet/dry) Cooling Tower Adiabatic products are air-cooled coolers or condensers with adiabatic pre-coolers. Before the fan draws the ambient air through the finned coil, the air is pre-cooled adiabatically when traversing an humidification pad. This evaporates the water in the air, thus boosting the cooling capacity.

Water Treatment and Filtration Equipment Evaporative cooling equipment needs good water care and filtration systems to protect components and heat exchange surfaces and control corrosion, scaling and fouling. It is also vital in avoiding the proliferation of harmful bacteria, including legionella, in the recirculating water.
