Aero-X Coil Technology – SPX Cooling Technologies Inc.
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — SPX Cooling Technologies Inc., a full-line, full-service provider in the design and manufacture of evaporative cooling towers, fluid coolers, and related equipment, has incorporated new proprietary Aero-X coil technology into its induced-draft, closed-circuit DT Fluid Coolers. The Aero-X tube profile maximizes thermal capacity per coil row thanks to the lowest air-side pressure drop (up to 10% more airflow at the same fan HP) and maximum heat transfer surface area.
Dry operation is extended for longer periods with switch point temperatures up to 10°F higher than other similar closed-circuit cooling towers. Depending on climate, operators can gain up to 15%-20% more incremental annual hours in dry mode, with 3,000 gallons per ton and $40 per ton annual water savings per ton of cooling achievable in many areas. Optional finned coils further enhance dry operation capability at higher ambient temperatures.
