Adiabatic Cooling Fundamentals


Presentation Overview

Adiabatic cooling leverages the thermodynamic principle that water evaporation absorbs heat, reducing the temperature of air before it contacts a heat exchanger surface.

By pre-cooling the incoming air stream, adiabatic systems allow a dry heat exchanger to achieve leaving fluid temperatures that would otherwise require an evaporative cooler or cooling tower.

The process consumes water only during peak conditions, making it significantly more water-efficient than traditional wet cooling methods while still achieving substantial efficiency improvements over dry operation alone.

Adiabatic cooling is particularly effective in hot, dry climates where the difference between dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures is large enough to provide meaningful pre-cooling benefit.
