Ensure proper water treatment and blowdown.

WSAC Tip 2 - Check the water level

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:54:26 GMT

Make sure the spray-water pressure and the basin’s water level are correct. Adjust the float valve if necessary.

WSAC Tip 3 - Clean pump screens

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:54:18 GMT

Check spray pump screens for debris and clean as necessary.

WSAC Tip 4 - Verify temperatures

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:54:01 GMT

Check process temperatures and pressures – inlet and outlet.

WSAC Tip 5 - Clean tube surfaces

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:53:44 GMT

Check the tube surfaces for debris and scale. Clean as necessary.

WSAC Tip 6 - Check spray nozzles

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:53:26 GMT

Check spray nozzles to ensure good spray coverage. Contact Alfa Laval Niagara Service for cleaning and replacement options.

WSAC Tip 7 - Inspect rotating equipment

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:53:08 GMT

Check rotating equipment (fans, motors, pump skid) for noise or excessive heat. Lubricate motors as required.

WSAC Tip 8 - Check the electrical system

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:52:53 GMT

Have a trained professional check the electrical system periodically.

WSAC Tip 9 - Keep critical spares in stock

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:52:34 GMT

Maintain stock of essential spare parts with long lead times.

WSAC Tip 10 - Perform regular audits

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 10:51:57 GMT

Alfa Laval Niagara WSAC - How it works

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 09:20:56 GMT

This animation demonstrates the working principle of the Alfa Laval Niagara Wet Surface Air Cooler.

Alfa Laval Niagara Wet Surface Air Coolers (WSAC®) are custom built, closed-loop cooling and condensing systems that combine high performance, low operating costs, compact size and reliable operation. Renowned for their robust design and high efficiency, Alfa Laval Niagara WSACs are used in a large number of demanding industries. Their low water consumption and high cooling capacity have made them a popular choice in applications where low temperatures are required for process improvements.

Effective and efficient cooling with Alfa Laval Niagara wet surface air coolers

Thu, 03 Oct 2019 09:06:29 GMT

The secret behind the effective and efficient cooling in the Alfa Laval Niagara wet surface air cooler systems is our unique WetSurface technology. Thanks to the unique features that we have developed you can keep life cycle cost to a minimum while maximizing cooling performance.

The evaporative cooling process used in Niagara wet surface air coolers is much more effective than the convective heat transfer taking place in a traditional dry air cooler. This means that we can help you cool the process medium more, and the system is significantly smaller and has lower power consumption.

Alfa Laval Niagara wet surface air coolers keep life cycle cost to a minimum...

Thu, 03 Oct 2019 09:06:25 GMT

Find out how the unique features of our Alfa Laval Niagara wet surface air coolers can help you keep life cycle cost to a minimum while maximizing cooling performance. One of these innovations is what we call FlexWater. Thanks to its special design, our systems can operate with water of much lower quality than a cooling tower. The result is much lower fresh water consumption and lower maintenance costs compared to a cooling tower.

All our systems are fully customized to our customers’ requirements, and we can even combine wet and dry operation in one system. We call this HybridCool. These hybrid-systems allow operators to choose operating mode depending on ambient conditions.

Alfa Laval Niagara WSAC: Full cooling capacity cooling systems all year round

Tue, 18 Jun 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Alfa Laval Niagara Wet Surface Air Coolers are custom built, closed-loop cooling and condensing systems that combine high performance, low operating costs, compact size and reliable operation.

When compared to a Cooling-Tower-plus-Heat-Exchanger combination, a Wet Surface Air Cooler can reach much lower outlet temperatures due to its direct evaporative cooling. On top of that, its water-consumption is several times lower and even dirty wastewater streams can be used as spray water.

Compared to a Dry-Air Cooler, the Wet Surface Air Cooler can guarantee you significantly lower outlet temperatures the whole year round, even during the hottest summer months, and this while using a much smaller plot-space and having a much lower power consumption.
