HVAC Cooling

The difference between HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) cooling and industrial cooling lies in their objectives, required precision, thermal loads, and equipment robustness. Both remove heat, but they do so for very different purposes and under distinct operational conditions.

Evaporative and adiabatic cooling both take advantage of air to lower the temperature of a process fluid (water, water and glycol, gas).

Wherever there is a process fluid to be cooled, up to a temperature of a few degrees above the wet bulb temperature of air, an evaporative cooling system can be used.

Adiabatic cooling systems (adiabatic dry coolers for liquids, adiabatic condensers for gases) are the optimal solution where the goal is to save water, either due to the absence of that resource or to risks associated with its management.

The calculation of ROI in a cooling system is a percentage indicator that shows how much economic value is generated compared to the capital invested.

The Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is a calculation method used to evaluate the total cost of a cooling system over

This is not something to worry about: the cooling consultant knows the right questions to ask for the selection of the best cooler, supported also by advanced software for calculation, selection, and resource optimization.

Yes, there are calculation and sizing software: some manufacturers and cooling consultants use them in recent years to make a selection that is as tailored as possible to the needs of the individual project.

Selection software makes it possible to simulate thermal loads, climatic conditions, and design variables in order to determine the optimal configuration of cooling towers, dry coolers, or chillers. They provide comparative analyses of capacity, energy consumption, noise levels, and operating costs. The goal is to ensure the right balance between performance, energy efficiency, and operating expenses.

Pre-order consultation with an industrial cooling expert is often free of charge: consultant and customer can then jointly evaluate the selection of a cooler, based on specific project needs.
