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.

Hybrid Cooling Towers specifications

SPX Cooling Technologies is a reputable name in the field of cooling systems, known for its innovative solutions to meet the dynamic needs of various industries. One of the standout offerings from SPX is its Hybrid Cooling Towers, which present a perfect blend of traditional cooling systems and advanced technology to enhance efficiency and sustainability.

Hybrid cooling towers are designed to operate effectively in varying climatic conditions, making them suitable for diverse applications, including power generation, industrial processes, and HVAC systems. These towers combine the benefits of both evaporative cooling and dry cooling methods, significantly improving heat rejection rates while reducing water consumption.

One of the defining features of SPX Hybrid Cooling Towers is their dual-mode operation. During hotter months, the system can utilize evaporative cooling to maximize cooling efficiency by harnessing water evaporation. Conversely, in cooler conditions, the system can shift to dry cooling mode, thus conserving water and ensuring environmental sustainability. This flexibility allows users to achieve optimal performance throughout the year and adapt to changing operational demands.

Moreover, these cooling towers are equipped with advanced fan technology, including variable speed drives that optimize airflow and energy usage. This not only enhances cooling performance but also reduces electricity costs, making them an economically viable option for many organizations.

In addition, SPX Cooling Technologies places a strong emphasis on durability and easy maintenance in its hybrid cooling tower designs. The materials used are resistant to corrosion and can withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring a long service life. Maintenance-friendly designs allow for easier access to critical components, minimizing downtime and operational disruptions.

Additionally, SPX's hybrid cooling solutions often include smart control systems that utilize real-time data to monitor and adjust operations. This technology leads to more efficient energy management and ensures that the system operates within its optimal parameters, resulting in lower overall operational costs.

In conclusion, SPX Cooling Technologies’ Hybrid Cooling Towers stand out due to their innovative dual-mode operation, energy-efficient features, durability, and easy maintenance. By embracing these advanced technologies, SPX is helping industries meet their cooling needs sustainably and efficiently, setting new standards in the cooling industry. Whether for industrial processes or building cooling applications, SPX's hybrid solutions provide a reliable and effective cooling option that respects both performance and the environment.
