Dry Cooler
Dry Cooler
A dry cooler uses ambient air to remove heat from water and glycol mix. Their process is similar to air-cooled condensers; however, no phase change takes place. Dry coolers are commonly used with CRAC units for economized cooling modes in lieu of mechanical cooling.
Fan: A fan circulates air through the cooling coil.
Motor: The motor rotates the fan.
Glycol/Water Pump and Motor: The glycol pump and motor circulates a glycol/water mix through the dry cooler and back into the building.
Cooling Coil: The cooling coil transfers heat from fluid to ambient air.
Expansion Tank: The expansion tank provides an expansion volume for the incompressible fluid in the system.
Frame: The frame provides support for the coils and equipment.
