SPX Cooling Technologies Hybrid Cooling Towers Humidifier User Manual


 
Let’s Clear the Air…
For decades, cooling towers’ cold-weather condensation plumes have
been a major problem. At best, they’re unsightly; at worst, they impair
visibility and waste water. Which make them a particular worry around
airports and other environmentally sensitive areas.
At SPX Cooling Technologies, we’ve made it our mission to eradicate
as much of the plume as possible – while conserving significant
amounts of water along the way.
And we’ve succeeded.
Two Ways to Tame the Plume
For years, SPX’s coil-based hybrid cooling towers have
been a highly popular choice. Now, our NCWD tower
represents our most advanced application of this
technology. SPX’s hybrid technology adds a heated
dry air stream to our coil system, keeping the plume
undersaturated, even upon mixture with the ambient air.
Therefore, visible plume is practically eliminated.
Another option is our new Air2Air™ technology, which
comes at plume abatement from a slightly different, but
similarly effective, angle. Air2Air uses heat exchanger
packs to radically reduce condensation and keep the
plume in check.
Both solutions can also conserve substantial amounts
of water. And no matter which solution you choose,
you’ll be helping to make “plume history” – by helping
to make the plume, well... history.
