Evaporative Closed Circuit Coolers

Evaporative Closed Circuit Coolers

Evaporative closed-circuit coolers represent the next generation of industrial heat-rejection technology. Engineered for high-efficiency cooling, low water use, and complete fluid separation, these systems ensure dependable temperature control for important processes where cleanliness, efficiency, and continuous operation are essential.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, our evaporative closed-circuit coolers combine evaporative cooling, dry cooling, and closed-loop functionality to deliver unmatched performance, even in extreme ambient temperatures.

What Is an Evaporative Closed-Circuit Cooler?

An evaporative closed-circuit cooler (also known as a closed-loop cooling tower) is a heat-transfer system where the process fluid flows through a sealed coil. Water cascades over the coil, while a high-efficiency fan draws air through the unit. The resulting evaporation removes heat from the coil without exposing the process fluid to contaminants.

This technology ensures:

  • Zero contamination of process fluid
  • Lower operating temperatures vs. dry coolers
  • Reduced chemical usage compared to open cooling towers
  • Consistent, dependable cooling performance

This makes closed-circuit coolers ideal for industries where product quality, precision cooling, and equipment protection are essential.

Key Performance Advantages

1. Fully enclosed process loop—maximum fluid protection

Your process fluid never comes in contact with external water, dust, scale, or biological contaminants. This leads to:

  • Longer equipment life
  • Minimal fouling or scaling
  • Reduced maintenance and downtime

2. Superior Cooling Efficiency

Evaporative heat transfer allows the system to deliver lower temperatures than air-cooled units, making it ideal for high heat loads and continuous operation.

3. Significant Water & Energy Savings

  • Lower water usage than conventional cooling towers
  • Variable-speed EC/axial fans for reduced power consumption
  • Optimized drift eliminators reduce water carryover

4. Compact Footprint & High Capacity

The system is designed to optimize performance while occupying minimal space, allowing for flexible installation in both new and existing facilities.

5. Industry-Grade Construction

Available in galvanized steel, stainless steel, epoxy-coated casings, and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term durability.

6. Reduced Chemical Treatment

Because the process loop is sealed, far fewer chemicals are required—making the system safer, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective.

Where closed-circuit coolers are used

Evaporative closed-circuit coolers are ideal for industries that require clean, reliable, and efficient cooling:

  • Industrial HVAC systems
  • Plastic injection molding & extrusion.
  • Chemical & pharmaceutical plants
  • Power generation & energy facilities.
  • Food & beverage production
  • Metalworking, foundries, and forging
  • Datacenters and IT cooling
  • Process refrigeration systems

Their ability to maintain water purity and stable temperatures makes them a superior choice for precision manufacturing environments.

Comparison Table: Closed Circuit Coolers vs. Traditional Cooling Towers

Feature Closed Circuit Coolers Traditional Cooling Towers
Process Fluid Protection A fully sealed loop prevents contamination, scaling, and dirt entry. Open to the atmosphere; high risk of debris, bacteria, and impurities.
Maintenance Requirements Low maintenance; minimal cleaning and reduced chemical usage. High maintenance; frequent cleaning, chemical dosing, and descaling needed.
Water Consumption: Lower water usage due to controlled evaporation and closed-loop design. Higher water consumption because of continuous evaporation and blowdown.
Energy Efficiency High efficiency with lower approach temperatures; ideal for continuous loads. Efficient, but performance decreases with contamination and poor water treatment.
System Reliability Consistent cooling performance; protects downstream equipment. Performance varies depending on water quality and environmental conditions.
Equipment Lifespan Longer lifespan due to reduced corrosion and scaling. Shorter lifespan due to open exposure and heavy scaling.
Operating Cost: Lower overall cost (less water, fewer chemicals, reduced downtime). Chemicals, maintenance, and water treatment contribute to higher long-term costs.
Installation Flexibility Compact and modular; easy to integrate in restricted spaces. A larger footprint may require significant installation space.
Environmental Impact The system reduces chemical discharge, thereby improving hygiene and safety. Higher chemical use and greater risk of biological growth (e.g., Legionella).
Best Use Cases Precision industries, pharmaceuticals, HVAC, plastics, and data centers. General cooling needs where water quality is manageable.
