Minimal water use. Short wetting cycles to humidify the adiabatic section, only when necessary. Integrated wetting water recovery kit.
PAD-XL W Adiabatic Cooler
for medium and large plantsIdeal for those who want to use very little cooling water while eliminating its management, or as an alternative to the classic dry cooler, especially with performance in the hottest times of the year in mind.
Energy consumption always optimized. Integrated operation logic (which can also be managed remotely) always optimizes fan operation.
Plug & Play Easy to move, transportable on standard trucks, and quick to install (factory tested and programmed).
No need to manage the wetting water. Simple mains water, no need to treat it, no risk of legionella.
Performance in any condition. Thanks to the adiabatic system and its operating logic, excellent performance can be achieved even during the hottest times of the year.
Simple maintenance. Total, easy and secure access to all essential parts.
How adiabatic cooler works
The adiabatic cooler, sometimes called adiabatic dry cooler or dry cooler with adiabatic pre-coolers, is designed to cool process fluids with ambient air or with ambient air pre-cooled by water (“adiabatic pre-cooling”).
Air pre-cooling generally becomes necessary in hot weather.
Prominent among the various special features of PAD-XL is its integrated operation logic, designed to minimize the use of fountain water, ensuring maximum performance even during the hottest periods of the year. PAD-XL manages and adjusts short wetting cycles only when necessary, avoiding the most common continuous wetting.

Read all FaqSome main advantages can be enumerated, related to reduced water use and optimized operation during different seasons and times of the day.
Read all FaqModern evaporative coolers use automatic blowdown systems controlled by conductivity sensors, partial recovery of discharge water, and optimized make-up strategies. Adiabatic systems, on the other hand—with the proper use of sensors and PLC-based parameter settings—use water only during periods of maximum thermal load, reducing overall consumption compared to traditional cooling towers (though with some loss of efficiency). The adoption of recovery circuits also allows part of the water to be reused in any cooling system that relies on this resource.
Read all FaqAdiabatic 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.
Read all FaqIn an evaporative system, approximately 2% of the mass to be cooled evaporates and is released back into the environment.
Read all FaqDuring the design phase, the use of selection and configuration software makes it possible to compare different solutions—chillers, cooling towers, adiabatic coolers, or dry coolers—by simulating their seasonal performance and heat loads. These digital tools also estimate energy and water consumption and help optimize system sizing.
