Water Cooling - Carter-Muller Adiabatic Air Blast Cooler

NO AEROSOL - NO WATER TREATMENT - NO PROBLEM

Coolers consist of copper tube and aluminium fin epoxy coated blocks (alternate materials available), direct drive axial fansets, galvanised steel casing, stainless steel collection tray, local fan isolators, and variable fan control as standard.

Carter-Muller Adiabatic Air Blast Cooler

Carter adiabatic coolers do not create an aerosol or wet the surface of the coil. Adiabatic cooling is achieved by mains water distributed over a pre-cooler pad through which the incoming air passes through. The cooled dry air then passes onto the coil for cooling. This method in turn prolongs the coil life by reducing coil fouling and negates the need for expensive mains water treatment.

Units are available in one to four fans as single coolers as standard.

Optional extras include attenuation package, stainless steel casing, winter coil heater package, skid mounted cooler and pump sets.

Operation – Dry

  • The fans draw cooling air across the dry honeycomb pad and then the heat exchanger, cooling the process water running inside the coils

  • The fans are brought in automatically as further cooling is required to reach the preset water outlet temperature

  • The air is exhausted vertically

Operation – Adiabatic

  • When there is insufficient cooling from the fans alone, the honeycomb pad will be saturated

  • The fans draw the warmer air across the saturated pad, which cools the air by evaporation

  • The cooler air then crosses the coils, cooling the process water further

  • The surplus water is collected in the stainless steel collection tray, and re-circulated back to the distribution header, to mix with fresh mains water

  • On a daily basis the surplus water is drained to ensure there is no stagnant water
