Bottlenecks due to insufficient cooling
are common in many plants
across many industries. The reason for this
is increased plant capacity or changes
to the overall process.
The problem is that there is
typically no space available
for the additional cooling equipment that
is required. Water cooling is usually
the best solution, but water for
this is very limited and scarce.
The HYAC dual zone was developed
specifically for this.
It is a dry and wet cooler, all contained
in one piece of equipment.
The dry cooling zone is a traditional
air-cooled exchanger,
while the wet cooling zone is a
traditional evaporative cooler.
This allows for the maximum cooling
in the smallest amount of space,
especially when compared to an air
cooler or a cooling tower system.
The low-quality water for makeup
that you've come accustomed to
with the Niagara wet surface air cooler is
still applicable to the HYAC dual zone.
Also, lower power consumption is achieved
through the use of a single air stream
that cools both the wet section
and the dry section.
Lastly, plume abatement is also achieved
through the use of the dry cooling zone
to reheat the humidified air that
leaves the wet cooling zone.
