Cooling towers operate through a multi-step process designed to remove heat from industrial systems safely and efficiently. Here’s how they work:
*In closed circuit towers, heat is transferred by water travelling through a heat exchanger, keeping the circulating water in a closed loop that does not come into contact with the air.
Open cooling towers, also called open-circuit cooling towers, operate by exposing the circulating water directly to the air. The heated water flows over the tower’s heat transfer packing, where it meets with air drawn or forced through the tower. Some of the water evaporates, removing heat from the remaining water, which is then recirculated.
Key Benefits of Open Cooling Towers:
Closed cooling towers, also known as closed-circuit cooling towers, operate within a sealed loop. In this design, the process water (or cooling fluid) flows through a coil or heat exchanger inside the tower, where it is cooled by air without direct exposure. This closed-loop system keeps the water clean and free from contaminants, making closed cooling towers ideal for applications where water quality is critical.
Key Benefits of Closed Cooling Towers:
Cooling towers and adiabatic coolers serve the same fundamental purpose—removing excess heat from industrial processes—but they achieve this in distinct ways, each offering unique advantages.
Cooling towers rely on the evaporative cooling process. They circulate water through heat exchangers/transfer packing which absorb heat, which is then released into the atmosphere as water evaporates within the tower. This continuous evaporation makes cooling towers highly effective for large-scale applications but results in significant water consumption and requires regular chemical treatment to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth.
Adiabatic coolers, by contrast, primarily operate as dry air coolers, using fans to dissipate heat without water. During peak temperatures, they activate an adiabatic process, where warm air is drawn through lightly moistened pads, cooling it as water evaporates. This reduces water consumption by up to 95%, making adiabatic coolers more sustainable and cost-efficient. Also, their closed-loop design prevents contamination, eliminating the need for chemical treatments.
Cooling towers are best for industries prioritising heavy-duty heat management in areas with stable water availability, while adiabatic coolers are suited to those seeking a more sustainable, low-maintenance solution with long-term cost savings. The choice hinges on balancing heat loads, local water availability and environmental considerations.

Contact us for a customised quote to find the best solution for your needs.
A well-maintained cooling tower can last 15 to 20 years or longer, depending on environmental conditions, usage and maintenance practices. Regular inspections and servicing can help increase the lifespan of your cooling tower.
A cooling tower removes heat by using air and water in an evaporative process, typically for larger industrial or residential applications. A chiller, on the other hand, uses refrigerants and a closed-loop system to cool water.
Cooling towers should be serviced at least twice a year. For systems in demanding environments, more frequent servicing may be needed to ensure efficient operation and prevent buildup that can reduce cooling performance.
Inspections should be conducted monthly to check for signs of wear, buildup or mechanical issues. Regular inspections can help identify minor issues before they become costly repairs.
Cooling towers should be tested for Legionella bacteria at least every three months. In high-risk settings or areas with strict health regulations, more frequent testing may be required to ensure safety and compliance.
Water treatment costs for cooling towers depend on system size, water quality, and usage. On average, cooling tower water treatment costs between £2 to £3 per 1,000 gallons of makeup water. These costs are an estimate based on average cooling tower operation; for a more accurate quote, get in touch with the Summit team. These costs typically include chemical treatments to prevent scaling, corrosion and bacterial growth.

Adiabatic cooling systems operate by utilising the natural cooling effect that occurs when water evaporates. In these systems, warm air is drawn through a specialised cooling pad that is lightly moistened. As the air passes through, the water on the pad evaporates, absorbing heat from the air and lowering its temperature. This cooled air is then used to reduce the temperature of the water or fluid circulating within the cooling unit, which is then returned to the process or environment requiring cooling.
Unlike traditional evaporative cooling towers that rely on large amounts of water to achieve cooling through continuous evaporation, adiabatic coolers primarily function as dry air coolers for most of the year. They only activate the adiabatic process during periods of high ambient temperatures, significantly reducing water usage. This can make them more efficient and cost-effective.
Adiabatic cooling units provide several key advantages:
Water Usage
Industrial cooling towers rely on constant water evaporation to dissipate heat, leading to high water consumption and the need for continuous water replenishment. In contrast, our adiabatic coolers use water sparingly, primarily operating as dry coolers and engaging water-based cooling only during peak temperatures. This results in up to 95% less water usage, making adiabatic coolers far more efficient in water conservation.
Maintenance and Compliance
Cooling towers require more maintenance, including regular chemical treatments and strict compliance with health regulations to prevent bacterial growth. Our adiabatic coolers, with their reduced need for water and dry operation most of the year, require less maintenance and, reducing both costs and downtime.
Environmental Impact
Adiabatic coolers offer a more environmentally friendly solution due to their lower water and energy usage, resulting in a smaller environmental footprint. Cooling towers, with their higher resource demands, are less sustainable and more costly to operate.
Operational Considerations
Cooling towers are effective but noisy and require ongoing water, chemical management and a greater deal of preventative maintenance. Adiabatic coolers are quieter, more cost-effective over time and are easier to maintain, making them a more convenient choice for many businesses.
The Frigel Ecodry 3DK Adiabatic Cooler offers a range of advanced features designed to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure reliable operation in even the most challenging environments.
Lower Water and Energy Consumption
The Ecodry 3DK excels in minimising water and energy usage. Its intelligent management system optimises water consumption based on real-time conditions, while EC fans and low-pressure drop pads reduce energy costs. The system’s ability to operate as a dry cooler during cooler months further cuts energy consumption.

An adiabatic cooling system is a type of cooling technology that reduces air temperature by using the natural process of water evaporation. It draws warm air through moistened pads or misting systems, where water absorbs heat from the air and evaporates, resulting in cooler air that is then used to lower the temperature of fluids in the system.
An adiabatic used the same technology as a dry cooler, where the fluid is in a closed circuit of copper tubes with aluminium fins and fans draw air over this matrix to transfer the colder air temperature into the fluid.
Adiabatic cooling and evaporative cooling systems are similar, but not identical. Both processes involve cooling air by evaporating water. However, adiabatic cooling primarily refers to systems that use this process selectively, often only when needed, and typically in a more controlled and efficient manner compared to standard evaporative cooling systems.
Adiabatic cooling cools air by passing it through a moistened medium or mist, where water absorbs heat from the air. As the water evaporates, the air temperature drops. This cooled air is then used to reduce the temperature of a process.
Adiabatic cooling units are highly efficient, especially in terms of water and energy usage. They primarily operate as dry coolers and only use the adiabatic process during high-temperature conditions, which optimises their efficiency and significantly reduces operating costs.

An Air Blast Cooler and an Air Cooled Chiller are both cooling systems, but they operate in different ways. An Air Blast Cooler uses ambient air to cool fluids like oil or water. This is achieved by passing the hot fluid through a bundle of finned tubes, with a fan propelling air over these tubes to dissipate heat and cool the fluid.
On the other hand, an Air Cooled Chiller uses a refrigeration circuit and refrigerant, which within the cycle changes state from a liquid to a gas to achieve the cooling effect. This then goes through an evaporator which the process fluid passes, exchanging the heat.
Therefore, the primary difference lies in the unique processes through which they cool fluids and reduce heat.
An Air Blast Cooler consumes relatively less electricity compared to other cooling systems, like Process Chillers. On average, the power consumption of our Air Coolers can range between 5 to 200 kW.

By retrofitting a Free Cooler to an existing chiller system, substantial energy savings can be made on running costs. The return on investment is remarkable, with payback from energy savings typically realised in as little as 6-12 months.
Free cooling technology presents an innovative and sustainable solution that can dramatically improve the efficiency of your cooling systems. By reducing the reliance on traditional, energy-intensive compressors, free cooling harnesses the power of ambient air to maintain optimal temperatures. This approach lowers electricity consumption, extends the lifespan of critical equipment, and reduces carbon emissions. It’s a smart, environmentally friendly investment that delivers exceptional return on investment (ROI) and helps companies move towards a more sustainable future.
The Benefits Speak for Themselves:
Fisher Plastics upgraded their cooling system with a free cooling solution, integrating an adiabatic cooler to reduce reliance on energy-intensive compressors. This change significantly lowered their energy costs, saving 357,667 kWh annually, which equated to £150,220 in savings. The free cooling system also improved equipment reliability by minimising strain on the compressors and reducing the risk of downtime.
In addition to energy savings, the system’s environmental impact was reduced by eliminating glycol from certain circuits and optimising resource usage. The upgrade not only met Fisher Plastics’ immediate needs but also offered scalability for future growth. For more details, visit the full article here.
