Dry Cooler for Construction Material Company

1. Client company and need

In 2023, a Piedmont-based company specializing in the production of high-quality plywood panels turned to MITA Cooling Technologies for an industrial cooling solution. The company, with nearly 200 years of experience in the wood industry, produces panels for a wide range of applications, from construction to transportation, with a strong presence in international markets.

The main requirement was the integration of a cooling system into a flue gas pollutant abatement circuit. This system had to ensure heat recovery for industrial hot water production while minimizing water use. The company also needed a system with a power rating of about 700 kW, which was energy efficient and occupied a small space.

2. Proposed solution

MITA Cooling Technologies supplied a dry cooler model MDC-F, a solution specifically designed to meet the customer’s needs. This air cooling system made it possible to completely eliminate the use of water, a key aspect in reducing operating costs and environmental impact.

Optional extras provided to the customer included an electrical panel with speed controller and temperature probe, flanged connections, and a line disconnect switch for each fan. All this was to ensure automatic and flexible management of the system, as well as increased operational safety. The chosen configuration ensured that the space required for installation was reduced without compromising performance.

3. Results and key success factors

Through the implementation of the MITA dry cooler, the company has been able to achieve significant efficiency and sustainability benefits. Key achievements include.

• Cancellation of water consumption: the air dry cooler has completely eliminated the need for water, reducing costs and meeting the company’s environmental goals.
• Energy efficiency: the integration of the speed controller and temperature probe enabled optimal management of energy resources, ensuring that the system operated only when needed.
• Support at all stages: MITA Cooling Technologies offered comprehensive support, from the analysis of the customer’s needs to the installation and commissioning of the system, facilitating a smooth process.
• Space reduction: thanks to the compact design of the dry cooler, it was possible to optimize installation space, a crucial factor in often already congested industrial environments.
• Integration with the flue gas abatement system: the solution was seamlessly integrated into the existing circuit, enabling heat recovery for industrial hot water production.
