Air Blast Coolers offer a simple, energy-efficient method of removing heat from process water by using ambient air. With no refrigerant required, these systems provide a low-maintenance and cost-effective cooling solution ideal for a variety of industrial applications. Designed for continuous operation in temperate climates, air blast coolers help reduce energy consumption, lower emissions, and extend chiller lifespan when used in hybrid or standalone setups. Built with durable materials and smart controls, they’re a dependable choice for sustainable, high-performance process cooling.
An Air Blast Cooler is an efficient cooling solution that utilises ambient air to reduce the temperature of fluids (like glycol, water, or oil). Unlike Chillers, which use a refrigerant circuit for cooling, Air Blast Coolers use ambient air.
When using ambient air, it’s important to note that you can only cool down fluids to an above-ambient temperature. By comparison, refrigerant circuits can cool them down to below-ambient temperatures.
These systems provide numerous benefits. They’re easy to install and require less maintenance compared to chiller units, which significantly reduces operational costs. This cost-effectiveness comes without sacrificing performance, as they offer efficient solutions in a compact size. Their reduced footprint is a major advantage, offering an optimal balance between performance and utility.
Moreover, these coolers do not have a refrigeration circuit. This reduces maintenance requirements and eliminates the challenges associated with managing refrigerants.

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.
