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. | |||
