Why choose evaporative cooling
Huge amounts of potable water are consumed every day through the use of traditional cooling towers. Adiabatic cooling is the solution to the increasing shortage of water supplies and the associated rising costs. In addition, evaporative cooling, when properly integrated, can save up to 95% of water: Finally, this technology offers greater heat transfer efficiency, requires less maintenance and contains no polluting chemical agents.
HOW DO ADIABATIC COOLERS WORK?
In summary, Frigel evaporative coolers only use water when necessary. Two cooling functions are used for this:
1. “Dry” mode
During most of the year the unit operates as a conventional dry cooler, without water consumption.
This causes the heat transported by the water to be dissipated into the ambient air by convection of the air forced by the fans.
2. “Adiabatic” mode
The adiabatic function is automatically activated during periods of high ambient temperature (e.g. warm summer months).
When the adiabatic mode comes into effect, this means that the dry mode is no longer sufficient to maintain the specified ‘set temperature’.
- When this occurs, the adiabatic mode ensures that the warm ambient air flows through the “adiabatic chamber”.
In the adiabatic chamber, humidity is added to the air flow, creating a pre-cooled effect.
Finally, the control system continuously regulates (when necessary) the amount of water evaporation via the adiabatic chamber to achieve the desired set point (set temperature).
