Also known as air coolers or air coolers, dry coolers are an efficient and sustainable cooling solution for industrial refrigeration. These systems are known for their ability to cool fluids in a closed circuit using ambient air, without the need for water. Although they are commonly used in air conditioning or refrigeration systems, dry coolers are also essential in various industrial processes.
What are dry cooler air cooler systems?
Dry coolers (air coolers or air coolers) are closed-circuit cooling systems. Unlike evaporative cooling systems, these coolers use ambient air instead of water to cool processes.
How air coolers work
Air coolers operate without direct contact between the air and the fluid to be cooled. The cooling process is based on using ambient air to reduce the temperature of the fluid circulating inside the system. Unlike open cooling systems, such as cooling towers, these units work through a closed circuit system, ensuring greater control over the process and preventing water loss. Although they share the same goal of reducing temperature in industrial processes, air coolers stand out for their compact design, which makes them easy to install in various industrial environments.
Features of dry coolers
Dry coolers are simple systems, mainly composed of two elements: air-liquid heat exchangers and fans. They are made of galvanized steel, which gives them high durability and corrosion resistance. At Torraval, we offer air coolers in two configurations: V-type dry coolers and table-type dry coolers, fully customizable to meet customer needs.
Main advantages of air cooler systems
Dry coolers offer numerous benefits over wet coolers, mainly due to their closed-circuit design. Some of these advantages are:
- Reduced installation and maintenance costs: Since they are closed-circuit systems, they require less maintenance than traditional evaporative cooling systems, which results in lower initial and long-term costs.
- Greater reliability and extended service life: Dry cooler systems operate with a consistent thermal performance, ensuring great durability and reliability when compared to other cooling systems.
- Cooling without consuming water: Air coolers are ideal for companies looking to
