SINGLE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT:

9 Compact design of a closed circuit cooling tower conserves space in a self-contained package, negating the need for a
separate cooling tower, heat exchanger, and pump arrangement.
MAINTENANCE IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED:

9 The closed loop keeps process fluids clean, reducing fouling.
LOWER WATER COSTS:

9 Lower volume of recirculating water reduces the need for expensive water treatment, and during periods of dry operation,
the need for make-up water is eliminated.
ENERGY SAVINGS:
9 Maintains the efficiency of the system with clean process fluid.
9 Operating in free cooling mode during the winter saves on energy consumption.
DRY OPERATION:
9 Operating dry conserves water and treatment chemicals, prevents icing, and eliminates plume.

MODES OF OPERATION
COMBINED WET/DRY MODE:

in this mode as the finned, dry coil, reduces the amount of heat that needs Air In

How will the HXV
WORK for you?
HXV First Cost Benefits
Heat rejection equipment must be selected for the maximum heat load at summer
peak air temperatures. In most climates peak wet-bulb temperatures are significantly
lower than peak dry-bulb temperatures. Evaporative cooling equipment based on the
ambient air wet-bulb therefore has a greater temperature driving force, allowing the
use of lower system temperatures. This greater driving force also allows the use of less
heat transfer surface area. Since the HXV utilizes evaporative cooling during peak load
operation it inherently benefits from this advantage. Evaporatively cooled units such
as the HXV have a plan area and fan horsepower advantage over the typical air-cooled
arrangement, saving on support structures and electrical hook-ups. The HXV design
also avoids the corrosion and scaling that can be associated with spraying of standard
Dry-bulb/Wet-bulb Difference Versus Climate Zone
air-cooled equipment on design days for additional capacity. The lower process fluid
temperatures that can be achieved compared to air-cooled systems and the greatly
reduced fouling factors of closed loop cooling result in lower first cost of process
equipment such as chillers or refrigeration compressors. Lastly, the costs associated
with plume abatement are eliminated, as the design is inherently plume-free.
HXV Operating Cost Benefits

Due to its water saving concept and combined flow design, the HXV offers significant
operating cost benefits. Water consumption is minimized throughout the year. During
peak summer operation a large amount of heat load is already transferred by the
finned coil. As the ambient temperature and/or heat load drops, the amount of Closed Circuit Cooling Systems offer the
evaporative heat transfer is further reduced by controlling the flow through the wet Lowest Fluid Temperatures
coil. This reduces the evaporation loss and blow-down as well as water treatment
requirements compared to conventional evaporative cooling equipment. In the
adiabatic mode only a small amount of water is needed to saturate the air and the
amount of blow-down is reduced even further. Finally in the dry mode no water is
used at all (while saving the energy associated with running the spray pump). With
HXV hybrid units, water savings up to 70% as compared to traditional closed circuit
systems is possible. Depending on local water costs and availability, this advantage
alone can pay for the equipment in as little as two years through cost savings in
water use, water treatment chemicals, and higher system efficiencies. In addition,
fouling potential associated with open circuit cooling towers is eliminated through Typical Annual Distribution of Ambient Temperature
both the closed loop cooling system and the Combined Flow Technology design of the with the Three Operating Modes
HXV, assuring peak efficiency and energy savings over time. Finally, the induced draft
propeller fan design results in low fan energy requirements compared to centrifugal
fan units.
