Industrial Dry Coolers

Industrial dry coolers are closed-loop cooling systems suitable for applications requiring a process fluid temperature no lower than the ambient air temperature. Frigofluid can offer customers dry cooler systems in “table” or “V” configuration for different installation needs.These are compact solutions that do not require water use and are simple to operate and maintain.

Description of industrial dry coolers

Dry coolers, or air coolers (or even dry cooling systems) dispose of heat in process fluids through the sole use of outside air and the energy required to convey it into the system.

They are closed-loop cooling systems: the fluid to be cooled is circulated within a finned heat exchanger, while one or more fans move ambient air through the fins.

Here is a list of the advantages of dry coolers over other cooling systems.

  • Ease of installation and maintenance.
  • Closed-loop operation, which prevents contamination of the fluid to be cooled with outside air.
  • Absence of water consumption, an important factor in water shortage areas.

There are two main configurations of dry cooler.

  • “Table-shaped”: this is an exchanger with a front arrangement of finned coils, typically for small to medium sizes.
  • “V-shaped”: an exchanger with a V-shaped arrangement of finned coils, which maximizes the heat exchange surface area and is recommended for high air flow rates.

Preliminary Assessment

Many interlocutors come to us with a very general idea of their industrial refrigeration needs: this is normal. That's why we stimulate the sharing of technical information.

Customized Design

We believe that integration with the best accessories on the market and the careful and 'unified' selection of internal components can make the difference.

Custom Chillers and Turnkey Plants

Production facilities and the characteristic of the installation area also have important effects on the design: because one cannot stop at the listed solutions.
