Adiabatic self draining cooler FCNE Free Cooler (Glycol free version)

The adiabatic self draining cooler Free Cooler FCNE technology makes use of the ambient air to cool process water, allowing high heat loads to be balanced with a limited amount of electrical power.

The adiabatic self draining coolers normally can reach one leaving water temperature not lower than the ambient air. If they are equipped with adiabatic nebulising systems, temperatures 5-7°C below the ambient air may be reached.

The FCNE Free Cooler series consists of 3 different models with 210 to 325 kW cooling capacity.

FCNE units are for outdoor installation but 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 especially intended for use in all the systems where water is in contact with the products or with industrial fluids.

The internal geometry provides an optimal distribution of the air with any kind of regulation for the air flow, thanks to the internal compartments that make each fan independent.

Advantages

• Working without glycol
• Energy saving
• No scaling or contamination of the process water
• Easy installation
• Easy integration on existing systems
• Fast R.O.I.

Main features

• Axial fan with integrated motor, available either with standard motor, with ON/OFF control at constant speed.
• EC brushless motors, with electronic fan speed control, available as an option, provide great energy saving performance.
• Low noise fans.
• Coils made of smooth copper tubes, Ø 12 mm, and high turbulence aluminium fins modular design for easy future expansion of the system.
• Control panel to set and check the leaving water temperature, with step capacity control and lead-lag function (continuous speed control as option).
• Zinc-plated metal frame, powder coated with synthetic resins, RAL 7035 colour, to grant high resistance against corrosion.

Options

• EC fans with brushless motor and electronic control
• Air filters
• High efficiency adiabatic system SSS
