HydroThrift OE: Open Evaporative Cooling System
In applications where an Evaporative-type, Closed Loop (CE) glycol system cannot be used due to budget constraints or application considerations, an Open Evaporative (OE) cooling system may be offered. OE-type systems are more economical in terms of initial equipment costs; however, they may incur maintenance costs associated with scaling, fouling, and water treatment packages. OE-type systems are also operated where heat transfer fluids, such as glycols, are not allowed, and/or the cooling medium comes in direct contact with customer product, such as plastic and aluminum extrusions.
Packaged Open Cooling Tower Systems (OE) include a cooling tower and a pump and control unit.
The pump and control module includes pump(s), motor starter(s), and thermostatic controls for the tower fan motor(s). Operation is so simple, no assigned operator is necessary. The control package regulates temperature, flow rates, and heat exchange, using cooling tower water. Systems are available up to 2500 tons.
The pump and control unit is delivered to you mounted on a structural steel base plate, pre-piped and pre-wired to the fullest extent possible. On-site, simply mount the cooling tower where it will have an adequate supply of clean, ambient air (tower may need to be elevated to allow for gravity drain to pump suction or sump), and locate the pump and control module anywhere between the heat load and the tower.
Where remote sumps are required or fluid mixing is needed for temperature control, Packaged Coldwells or combination Hotwell/Coldwell systems are available. These wells can be constructed of a variety of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, and plastic. Skids using vertical turbine pumps are also available for use with in-floor / in-ground sumps. The skid is designed to cover the sump; minimizing necessary floor space.
HydroThrift "OE-type" cooling systems are custom designed for your particular and exacting requirements.
Although competitively priced with "off the shelf' type systems, your HydroThrift OE_ type cooling system will incorporate pumps, electrical controls, flow controls and temperature controls which are hand picked for your particular application. When selecting components and other design considerations, special attention is given to durability, serviceability, and system integration.
