Adiabatic Operating Principle: Wet or Dry Operation
Efficient FACS adiabatic condensers with hydroBLU™ Technology can be operated either wet or dry. Both modes provide excellent performance with a small footprint and low operating costs.
The cooling limit (the theoretically best possible condensing temperature/pressure for the system) is tied to the wet bulb the temperature of the ambient air.
Thermal Efficiency
Increased Thermal Performance, Lowers Total Cost of Ownership At peak ambient temperatures, the air entering the finned heat the exchanger is pre-cooled by wetted cooling pads to a temperature approaching the wet-bulb temperature, without the aerosol formation and without applying water to the finned surface.
The pre-cooling process maintains the required condensing temperatures at peak ambient conditions. The adiabatic process significantly increases the thermal efficiency of the condenser with minimal water usage.
The increased thermal performance at peak ambient conditions lowers the total cost of ownership. The reduction in compressor energy usage permits higher COP's, with a significantly reduced footprint.
Evaporative condensers use water as the evaporative cooling source throughout the year. The adiabatic alternative only uses water at peak ambient conditions thereby significantly reducing or eliminating water usage, water treatment, chemicals, sewage, and the costs associated with each.
