PME-E Open-Circuit Evaporative Cooling Tower

This is a series of large industrial cooling towers for power generation, steel and aluminium processing, cogeneration and other large production sites. Efficiency, high performance, reduced installation and transport costs are granted.

The PU series field-erected industrial cooling tower can serve very large plants: especially oil & gas, chemical and power generation. Available for all industrial water. Different materials are supplied according to project needs: concrete, steel, fiberglass and pultruded.

Ideal for water saving maintaining a high efficiency. All operations are managed by PLC with the possibility of remote management in “Industry 4.0” mode. Suitable for both industrial and HVAC fields of application. The adiabatic cooler, sometimes called adiabatic dry cooler or dry cooler with adiabatic pre-coolers, is designed to work with both air and water, with particular attention to efficiency. The external air is used to cool the liquid during dry operation and it is pre-cooled only in hot periods with wetting cycles of about 15 seconds during adiabatic operation (“adiabatic pre-cooling”).

Dry coolers are simple and reliable equipment. Their operating principle is based on a sensible heat exchange between air and water where: air is drawn in by fans through a finned coil, while water (or a mixture of water and glycol) flows through the tubes that make up the coil and cools when the (cooler) ambient air laps the surface of the latter. Fins are used to increase the overall heat exchange surface area so that the equipment can be as compact and efficient as possible.
