Are there tools for “objective” industrial cooling system selection, such as calculation software?

Yes, there are calculation and sizing software: some manufacturers and cooling consultants have been using them in recent years to make a selection as tailored as possible to the needs of the individual project. These software tools allow the input of data from the process to be cooled and environmental characteristics, resulting in a particularly “objective” selection and presenting different options to the customer. These advanced tools also allow a comparative calculation of the return-on-investment times of the different proposed solutions. Also not to be underestimated is the possibility of viewing detailed and visually clear reports. However, these tools are not without expert advice: an industrial cooling consultant knows how to ask the right questions of the client, helping him or her to disentangle the different options available.
