Ecodry - 3DK

Adiabatic Cooler
Water Conservation is a MUST
The growing global scarcity of water had inspire us to
design ECODRY: the most efficient Adiabatic Cooler
available today. In fact, extremely large amounts of
fresh water are consumed everyday caused by
“evaporative” heat rejection of Cooling Towers.
The use of this new technology may save up to 95% of
it. Water cost is also increasingly becoming an important
economic factor when operating a Cooling Tower, but is
not the only one.
A large list of advantages makes this new technology an
unbeatable alternative to them, achieving:
 better cooling performance with increased heat
transfer efficiency;
 outstanding operating costs savings, resulting in a
low total cost of ownership;
 new standards in terms of Environmental Impact,
from both water footprint and total emissions.
Ecodry is an Adiabatic Cooler. It is installed outdoors in
order to reject to ambient the heat extracted from pro-
cesses, providing precise cooling conditions even in ex-
treme ambient temperatures (up to 50°C) delivering
clean water at the right temperature year round with
unbeatable efficiency.

Main features
The Adiabatic Cooler ECODRY combines:
Dry Cooler
 Low pressure loss heat exchangers with high performance copper/aluminum finned coil and
stainless steel headers
 Axial fans in die-cast aluminum, with individual inverter driven brushless EC (variable speed fan
motors) or EZ (brushless variable speed fan motors with exhaust diffusers) motors
 Self-Draining by gravity coil configuration for glycol-free operation
 Stainless steel frame and support structure and aluminum access panels
Adiabatic chamber
 Unique Adiabatic Chamber (internationally patented) enclosed with cellulose pads and
equipped with high efficiency air humidification spray nozzles, designed for air pre-cooling
based on variable flow of a thin water mist

Intelligent Control System

 PLC hardware based on digital control and on-demand managing logics of the entire system
 Fan speed management: system always delivers the minimum air flow required, according to real load demand and actual ambient
temperature
 Dry – Adiabatic – Booster switch: system automatically commutates from one mode to the other according to real load demand
and actual ambient temperature
 Water consumption management in Adiabatic Mode controls water evaporation according to the real demand
 Process pump management: system automatically controls the actual pumping capacity according to the real demand of process
water flow
 Complete set of sensors and anti-freeze self-draining software
Structure
 The metal structure is in AISI430 stainless steel. If there are particular applications in areas where the atmosphere is somewhat
corrosive for steel in order to avoid possible presence of rust stains, it is recommended to request a specific surface structures
and/or treatment

Operating Principles
Dry Mode
The unit operates like a conventional finned dry cooler. Heat is dissipated to the ambient air via convection.
The speed control of EC fan motors keeps coolant at a pre-programmed minimum setpoint, saving energy.
During long winter periods, accessing panels may be removed, in order to improve air flow and reduce even
more the fan energy consumption.
Adiabatic mode
During high ambient temperature conditions, thanks to
the Adiabatic Chamber and an Intelligent Management
Control System, the coolant temperature is kept at a
pre-programmed maximum setpoint.
 The ambient air at high temperature passes through
the “adiabatic chamber”
 In the chamber, spray nozzles create a thin mist of
water from an external source
 The humidification of the air drops its temperature
before it reaches the coils
 The amount of water consumed is automatically con-
trolled by microprocessor
 To ensure consistent cooling, the control system con-
tinuously adjusts the amount of water sprayed
 Chamber design avoids water drift outside the cham-
ber preventing heat exchanger scaling

Booster mode
 Available adiabatic booster for situations where set
point cannot be maintained due to extremely high
ambient temperatures and/or where an extremely
low temperature is required (typically less than 30°C)
 With the adiabatic chamber in full operation, the 3PR
control system will sequentially activate solenoid
valves to completely flood of the coil surfaces
 Unlike other systems, this flooding process prevents
evaporation on the coil surfaces
 The coils are coated with hydrophilic paint to addi-
tionally prevent pitting of the surfaces
 Normally the booster system is used as an emergen-
cy for a few hours of the year
 Continuous and Homogeneous Waterfall on Hydro-
philic Coated Exchangers; typical operating situation:
 INLET: 100 litres of water with 10 g of calcium carbonate
(hardness 10°F)
 OUTLET: 30 litres of water into the exhaust air (useful ef-
fect), 70 litres of water + 10 g of calcium carbonate dropping
in the adiabatic chamber (adiabatic useful effect), 0 g of cal-
cium carbonate on the exchanger’s fins
