What are the main components of an evaporative cooling system and an adiabatic cooling system?

The structure and components of the two systems are, of course, a consequence of the two different operating principles. Main components of an evaporative cooling system:

• tower body,
• heat exchange pack (open cooling tower), heat exchange coils (closed cooling tower, evaporative condenser),
• water collection basin,
• pumping system,
• fans,
• electrical control system (optional, but desirable).

Main components of an adiabatic cooling system:

• finned coils for heat exchange,
• adiabatic pack for pre-cooling the outside air,
• water recirculation system,
• electronically controlled fans,
• electronic control system as standard, to manage operating parameters and shift from dry to adiabatic mode,
• water tanks to spray the adiabatic section.
