Brief info : Subsidiary : HTS (air treatment heat exchangers dedicated to railway and transports - 14 MEUR)
Head quarters location : Italy
Sales territory : Occidental Europe
Production Facilities : Italy
Other products : none
Product : SDHL serie - Wet-Dry cooling tower
Application : Water cooling; free cooling; other fluids cooling
Principle : . Demineralized water production unit
. Finned tubes cooled with pre-cooled air (with demineralized waste water)
. Induced helicoidal crossflow draft
Benefits : No scaling (demineralized water)
No bacteriological growth (dry cooler; demineralized water)
Suspended finned tubes coil (choc protected)
Inconvenients : High noise level (high absorbed power compared to cooling tower)
Capacity
Electrical and water consumption (and water cost price after demineralization)
Need of Glycol for winter operation below 0°C - for winter stop, coil must be completely dried.
Other information : Range EUROVENT certified
Test made at 40/35°C with 25°C dry bulb - approach of 10°C on dry bulb : cold water temperature
