Industrial Cooling Engineering Resources
Practical selection guides for engineers, contractors and industrial project teams working with cooling towers, evaporative condensers, dry coolers and air-cooled heat exchangers.
Start with the design basis
Accurate equipment selection begins with heat load, fluid, flow, entering and leaving temperatures, design wet-bulb or dry-bulb temperature, water quality, altitude, sound and installation constraints. Use the resources below to prepare a complete inquiry.
Choose between a protected closed loop and direct open-water heat rejection.
Understand the decisive difference: process liquid cooling versus refrigerant condensing.
Compare water use, temperature limits, system energy and application fit.
Learn the three temperature relationships behind tower selection.
Plan glycol, drainage, heat tracing and control for cold-weather operation.
Prepare flow, temperatures and climate data for a thermal selection.
