Free Cooling Systems

In an isolated source system, a heat exchanger isolates the process cooling system from the free cooling system. This allows the use of a glycol solution as the cooling source and/or to protect the process fluid from contamination from the cooling source. In cases where a fluid cooler or adiabatic fluid cooler with a glycol solution is the cooling source, the heat exchanger isolates the process fluid from the glycol solution to allow water to be used in the process loop. In cases where a cooling tower is the cooling source, the heat exchanger provides protection of the process fluid from possible contamination from the cooling tower water.
