Air/water
heat exchangers
Applications
Air/water heat exchangers effectively dissipate high
heat losses. Thanks to the spatial separation of the
heat exchanger and recooling system, the room is not
burdened with waste heat.
Ideal at any installation site
High ambient temperatures and extreme levels of contamination
are ideal conditions for the use of air/water heat
exchangers. If direct dissipation of heat loss to the ambient
air is undesirable or ineffective due to the confined space,
the air/water heat exchanger may likewise offer an ideal solution.
Very effective cooling solutions for individual enclosures
or bayed enclosure suites may be achieved by separating
the exchanger from the recooling system.
Practical example of an air/water heat
exchanger
In all areas with extreme ambient conditions, enclosure and
climate control components are subject to special requirements.
This applies, for example, to metal foundries, engine
factories and the chemicals and metal-working industries.
In such situations, low-maintenance air/water heat exchangers
are used as efficient all-rounders. Either fed from existing
cooling water networks or from separate recooling systems,
these products contribute to an ideal climate inside the
enclosure. The cooling water absorbs the heat inside the
heat exchanger and conveys it to the corresponding cooling
system. In this way, even small rooms are exempt from additional
waste heat from the enclosure, and the electronics
inside the enclosure are effectively protected.
