Where are CACW motor coolers typically used?

CACW motor coolers are typically used in industrial and power applications where high motor reliability, efficient heat dissipation, and protection from harsh environments are required. Common application areas include:

• High-voltage and medium-voltage electric motors in continuous-duty operation

• Steel plants and rolling mills, where dust, scale, and high ambient temperatures are present

• Cement plants, especially for kiln drives, crushers, and large fans

• Mining operations, including underground and surface mining motors exposed to dust and moisture

• Petrochemical plants and refineries, where corrosive atmospheres and safety requirements exist

• Power generation facilities, such as auxiliary motors in thermal, hydro, and gas power plants

• Marine and offshore applications, including propulsion motors and deck machinery

• Paper and pulp mills, with high humidity and fibrous contaminants

• Water treatment and desalination plants, where reliable cooling and corrosion resistance are critical

In general, CACW motor coolers are selected when cooling water is available and the operating environment makes open or air-to-air cooling unsuitable due to contamination, temperature, or space constraints.
