What is a Fluid Cooler?

The fluid coolers (free-coolers) are air/water heat exchangers, which cool water by using ambient air. Axial fans make the air circulate through the coil (s), with very low energy demand. Fluid coolers FC-90 units are for outdoor installation; glycol is required to be added to the circuits to avoid freezing if ambient temperature can reach 0°C or lower values.

ADVANTAGES OF A FREE-COOLER INSTALLATION:

• Low energy consumption;
• No water consumption;
• No contamination of process water;
• No deposits: the closed circuit system keeps quantity of salts unchanged and avoids deposit growth;
• Easy installation;
• Easy integration to existing cooling systems;
• Quick return of investment.

The new range of fluid cooler is also available as GLYCOL-FREE version, corresponding to self-draining model.

Ecological fluid coolers FCE-90 free-coolers provide a reliable and efficient operation without any necessity for glycol use.

The special design of pipes and manifolds guarantees quick and complete water drain in case of pump failure or black out, thus preventing damages due to water freezing.

They are specially intended for use in all the systems where water is in contact with the products (plastic extrusion for example) or with industrial fluids such as metal hardening water emulsions.
