Selecting the Right Aqua-Vent® System

Dry Coolers can provide you with cooling systems specifically designed to fit your applications, including Air Cooled Heat Exchangers and Evaporative Cooling Towers, as well as Refrigerant Chillers. 

Our applications engineers will assist you in selecting the most cost efficient type of cooling system for your industrial process, because we know that the right cooling system can literally save you thousands of dollars over the life of your equipment by:

  • Saving Water & Sewer Costs
  • Controling Scaling & Corrosion 
  • Recuperating Waste Heat 
  • Eliminating Water Discharge to Drain

Air Cooled Heat Exchanger

  • Cools by blowing air across finned tubes 
  • Temperatures to within 5ºF of ambient (i.e. 100ºF on a 95ºF day) 
  • Waste heat recoverable as warm, dry air 
  • Low maintenance 
  • Low horsepower—lowest operating cost 
  • Needs glycol antifreeze if installed outdoors 

Evaporative Cooling Tower 

  • Cools by evaporating water 
  • Temperatures from 85ºF to 100ºF 
  • Reduces water use by approximately 97% 
  • Centrifugal solids separators are available 
  • Can be open or closed system with integral tube bundle or external heat exchanger 
  • Requires water treatment to control scale, corrosion and biological growth 

Refrigerant Chiller 

  • Cools by mechanical refrigeration cycle 
  • Temperatures below 85ºF 
  • Air or water cooled condensers available 
  • Centrifugal blowers available for heat recuperation 
  • Can be open or closed system with integral evaporator or secondary heat exchanger 
  • Ozone-friendly refrigerant systems are available 

Engineered Systems at Component Prices 

Dry Coolers systems are completely assembled, tested and skid mounted. Details are thoroughly engineered by our experts so that your system will be custom built to fit your space requirements and orientation, which means quick installation. 

Standard proven designs and detailed instructions provide rapid start-up without the expense of on-site engineering and fabrication. A main power drop and straight runs of piping are usually all that is required. Many times this can be done in-house by your personnel, saving on the cost of hiring con­tractors and/or architect engineers. 

You’ll save money even before the system is put into operation. And of course you have the peace of mind knowing that your cooling system will be matched to your requirements.

Pumping Stations

Analysis of pumping head requirements and proper system design will ensure that you get the most energy efficient and maintainable equipment available. Duplex systems with full capacity backup pumps and/or emergency city water backup systems that automatically activate when trouble arises are available. Other backup sys­tems include engine driven pumps and generators, and air or water driven pumps. 

Control Panels

Control systems are built to the National Electrical Code so you’ll be up and running with the least amount of installation headaches. Full detailed drawings and schematics are provided to facilitate future system expansions and maintenance. Only high quality industrial enclosures and components are used in construction so you will experience years of trouble-free operation. Indicating lights, alarms, and control logic are engineered into the system from the start. All control panels are fully tested before shipment for quick start-up. Custom panels with all brands of instrumentation and PLCs are available.

Valuable Optional Equipment

Dry Coolers offers optional equipment that can enhance your operation, including:

Emergency Backup Pumping Systems

Critical for any high temperature equipment to prevent loss of coolant flow which can quickly cause equipment damage.

Solids Removal & Filtration

CycleanTM centrifugal separators, bag filters, strainers and de-ionizers can be integrated into your cooling system for easy solids removal with­out interrupting system operation —in many cases with zero water discharge to drain.

Plate Heat Exchanger 

Greater efficiency, small footprint, expandibility, cleanability, and stainless steel heat transfer surfaces make plate heat exchangers preferable over shell and tube designs in many applications.
