Work produces heat, and excess heat is one of the biggest banes of industrial processes. To reduce heat in these facilities, protect equipment and improve productivity, facility managers resort to all sorts of cooling methods. One of these is evaporative cooling.

Combining traditional air cooling and closed-loop evaporative cooling, hybrid air coolers offer a reliable, effective cooling method for a range of industrial applications “on nature’s terms.”

SPX Cooling Technologies Inc. is commemorating the 100th anniversary of its Marley brand evaporative cooling towers and components. The company will celebrate this milestone throughout 2022 with a company timeline, video history and events.

Adiabatic cooling is an eons-old method of cooling spaces using the absorption of heat by water as it changes phase from a liquid to a vapor. Ancient Egyptians took advantage of this method by hanging wet cloths in the openings of their living quarters and letting the dry desert air pass through to provide a cooling effect.

The three layers of the TriArmor System —G-235 galvanized steel, a thermosetting hybrid polymer baked onto the galvanized steel and a polyurethane barrier — form a bond to protect against leaks and corrosion resistance. 

The water-saving design of Model HXV makes it suited for applications where water is scarce or expensive, or plume is a concern. 

A webinar series focused on industrial and HVAC evaporative cooling is being offered by SPX Cooling Technologies.

As the number of data centers in the United States increases, the need to efficiently cooling those systems does as well. The computer power within the data systems generates heat, making cooling a building system requirement.
