Knowledge about Dry Coolers

A dry cooler is an air-cooled heat exchanger used in HVAC systems or industrial processes to reject heat from a fluid to the ambient air without using water.

Here's what you need to know:

Function: Dry coolers transfer heat from a fluid (such as water or glycol) to ambient air without evaporating water, unlike cooling towers.

Usage: They are commonly employed in data centers, industrial facilities, and HVAC systems where water conservation or water quality is a concern.

Design: Dry coolers consist of fin tube bundles through which the fluid passes while ambient air is blown across the tubes to remove heat.

Advantages: They eliminate the need for water treatment and reduce the risk of waterborne pathogens, making them environmentally friendly and suitable for use in water-scarce areas.

Applications: Dry coolers are used in various industries such as power generation, chemical processing, food and beverage, and more.
