90% savings

IsoCool has supplied on a 12-month interest free loan an Adcooler adiabatic dry cooler to injection moulder Signal Plastic Components, resulting in a saving of 90% on previous costs.

Six presses at the factory in Washington, Tyne and Wear used to be cooled to 20°C by a refrigeration chiller. Concerned by high energy costs, the company called in IsoCool who proposed replacing the chiller with the Adcooler, an intelligent adiabatic dry cooler that switches automatically between dry and wet bulb operation according to ambient temperature and humidity.

Nigel Hallett, MD of IsoCool, says: "Essentially, the Adcooler functions as an air blast cooler during low ambient conditions, providing up to 100% direct air cooling, and an adiabatic cooler when the ambient is higher than the set point temperature.

As a result it is more efficient than a traditional chiller, which has a much higher installed power."
