LSWE Closed Circuit Cooler
EVAPCO LSWE Closed Circuit Coolers – Principle of Operation
The process fluid circulates through the coil of the closed circuit cooler. Heat from the process fluid dissipates through the coil tubes to the water cascading downward over the tubes; simultaneously, air is blown through the unit by the fans, and travels upward over the coil opposite the water flow.
 |
A small portion of the water evaporates, removing the heat from the system. The warm moist air is forced to the top of the closed circuit cooler by the fan and discharged to the atmosphere. The remaining water falls to the sump at the bottom of the cooler where it is re-circulated by the pump up through the water distribution system and back down over the coils.
Product Features
Thermal-Pak II Coil
EVAPCO’s Thermal-Pak II coils patented design assures maximum cooling capacity. The airflow through the coil is counterflow to the fluid flow, providing the most efficient heat transfer process. A special coil design is utilized to reduce the air pressure drop through the unit while maximizing tube surface area and increasing its heat transfer capabilities.
- Elliptical return bends allows for more circuits per coil bundle increasing the maximum capacity per footprint
- Coil located in airstream increasing dry bulb switchover temperature
- CrossCool Internal Tube Enhancement increase fluid turbulence providing additional evaporative capacity
- Available in type 304 SS or type 316 SS construction
Drift Eliminators
- Limits the drift rate to less than 0.001% of the recirculating water rate
- Limit the potential of spreading Legionella
- Constructed of an inert polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Pressurized Water Distribution System
EVAPCO’s Zero Maintenance ZMII® spray nozzle remains clog free while providing even and constant water distribution, providing the industry’s best performing non-corrosive, maintenance-free water distribution system.
- ZMII spray nozzles have a 1-1/4″ diameter opening and a 1-1/4″ splash plate clearance
- Mounted in corrosion-free PVC water distribution pipes that have threaded end caps
- Provides unequaled coil coverage and scale prevention
