Hybrid cooler

Hybrid cooling is a combination of wet and dry cooling which results in environment-friendly heat dissipation into the surrounding air. It combines the benefits of wet and dry cooling without the disadvantages.

In hybrid cooling, cooling is achieved by evaporation at high ambient temperatures, by convection and humidification at medium ambient temperatures, and by convection only at low ambient temperatures.

An additional cooling effect can be achieved by humidification or sprinkling of the heat exchanger, which leads to evaporation of the water on the surface of the heat exchanger. Thus it is possible to cool the working fluid to below ambient temperatures, which is reflected in the investment costs.
