Cooling Towers & Adiabatic Coolers

Our cooling towers for impure water are designed to handle water with high particle levels, which is essential for some industries such as paper, chemical, and petrochemical industries, among others. 

• X-STREAM Technology

   Cofinair’s unique X-STREAM technology uses specially designed fillings that can handle extreme conditions in the air, higher particle levels, and in the water, a high concentration of suspended particles, compared to other types of fillings. This reduces clogging, improves thermal exchange, and extends the lifespan of the cooling tower. Installing these cooling towers in industrial environments with expected high levels of air pollution and dirty water is no longer a problem. 

• Custom Options

   We offer a range of custom options, including various fan types, sound insulation, stainless steel construction, and more, so you can tailor your cooling solution for impure water to your specific needs. 

• Closed-Circuit Evaporative Cooling Towers for Clean Water / Very Dirty Water

   Closed cooling towers are preferred, especially in situations where high-quality cooling water is required, such as for process equipment with narrow cooling channels. 

   In cases where process water or wastewater that needs cooling is so impure, with high dirt content, that Cofinair’s X-STREAM technology can no longer be used, evaporative cooling towers can be installed in a closed loop with clean water and heat exchangers specially designed for heat exchange with the dirty water. 

Adiabatic Coolers – No Aerosols and Significant Water Savings 

   These cooling systems are developed to: – radically reduce liquid losses from evaporation; – be entirely safe and not propagate Legionnaires’ disease (legionella); – not require water treatment before the cooler; and – be easy to maintain. 

   Adiabatic coolers are characterized by the spatial separation of adiabatic evaporation of water in the inlet air from the downstream dry cooler. The adiabatic evaporation process is time-limited and cools the inlet air as needed. This lowers the air temperature when ambient temperatures are high, such as in the summer. The downstream dry cooler removes process heat. 

• Adiabatic Cooler with H-Shape (Topaz Series)

   Cofinair’s Topaz Series of adiabatic coolers is designed to be easy to maintain, with easy access to the inside of the equipment for tube bundle cleaning and potential fan disassembly. 

• Adiabatic Cooler with V-Shape (Zyrco Series)

   Cofinair’s V-Shape adiabatic coolers require less installation space and are a cost-effective alternative to the Topaz series. 

Adiabatic Condensers (Onyx Series) 

   Adiabatic condensers are used for cooling systems that use ammonia as a refrigerant. These adiabatic condensers have low water consumption, no risk of propagating Legionnaires’ disease (legionella), no need for special water treatment, and easy maintenance due to their H-shape design. 

Evaporative and Adiabatic Condensers – The Most Efficient Way to Remove Heat During Cooling 

Cofinair can offer two types of equipment with condensers for industrial refrigeration: evaporative condensers (most efficient) or adiabatic condensers (energy-saving and without generating any aerosols). 

Evaporative Condensers for Refrigerant Cooling 

• Refrigerant Cooling with Radial Fans (CFR-C Series)

   This product line of refrigerant coolers is specially designed for low noise levels. 

• Refrigerant Cooling with Axial Fans (CFR-A Series)

   Cofinair’s refrigerant coolers with axial fans are designed to take up as little space as possible while having the lowest possible energy requirements. 

Options for Cofinair’s Cooling Towers, Adiabatic Coolers and Condensers

   There are many optional features available for Cofinair’s cooling towers, condensers, and adiabatic coolers that may be of interest to your specific needs and applications. Here are some of these options: 

• Sound Insulation
• Stainless Steel Construction – Special steel called X-Steel with better corrosion properties than SS316L
• Surface Coating (Decsa surface coating or “Whirl Sintering” with corrosion class C5M)
• Polyester construction, completely free from corrosion issues. 
• Hybrid Cooling Towers – with condensers for outgoing air with evaporated water, applications for dry cooling are also possible. 
•  Adiabatic coolers with drainable coil loops – Topaz series. 

Construction Materials 

Cooling towers are often exposed to extreme weather conditions and must therefore be made of corrosion- and weather-resistant materials. Whether you choose stainless steel or DECSA coating/Whirl sintering, you can be assured that our towers will last a long time. 

– SILVER-STEEL 

   Manufactured on a classic production line for hot-dip galvanized steel and dipped in a fusion bath with a specific chemical zinc composition enriched with aluminum and magnesium. 5-year warranty against perforation. 

– X-STEEL stainless steel 

   Characterized by mechanical and chemical corrosion resistance higher than stainless steel 316 L. The smooth surface inhibits the growth of biofilm and avoids galvanic loss, which is a pollutant as soon as it dilutes in water (harmful pollutant as soon as it dilutes in wastewater – zinc). 10-year warranty against perforation. 

– WHIRL-SINTERING 

   A 0.3mm thermoplastic coating for cooling towers of the GOHL-KTK brand, representing an extremely long operating cycle. It is C5-M certified, the highest corrosion category according to coastal and offshore areas with high salt pollution (DIN 55633 and DIN EN ISO 12944). 

Other available materials: Galvanized steel – FRP – Concrete – DECSA coating.
