Adiabatic coolers are a modern alternative to traditional cooling towers, involving significantly lower maintenance and OPEX.
Transtherm’s adiabatic system provides “very effective management of Legionella risk”
No ongoing chemical treatment or registration with local authorities required
Variable speed EC fan technology – typically only 25% of traditional fan energy usage
Less than 4% of Hybrid Cooling Tower and less than 1% of traditional Cooling Tower water usage
Minimal Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance requirement
Compatible for communication around the world with standard WiFi or optional 3G controls
Including parts and labour in UK mainland, parts only elsewhere – Extendable to 5 years

Transtherm were approached to provide 3 x large Adiabatic Coolers (1 x 768kW, 1 x 960kW, 1 x 1,152kW) to dissipate the heat from an absorption chiller circuit that is fired from the waste heat of a CHP (Combined Heat and Power) system.
Oxford Brookes University
470kW and 359kW Transtherm Adiabatic Coolers were supplied to dissipate condenser water heat from Absorption Chillers. Due to the hardness of the local water supply, the coolers were all supplied with Transtherm’s air inlet filters.

2 x 2MW Transtherm Adiabatic V-Coolers were used to replace a large cooling towers. By using Transtherm adiabatic Coolers, the end user was able to eliminate ongoing chemical treatment and save huge amounts of water and energy.
Transtherm’s adiabatic technology is an efficient, reliable and high-quality solution for directly cooling data centres in which the server temperature parameters allow for the eradication of compressor or refrigerant based technologies.
Their designs are based on real time weather data for the installation site and their knowledgeable team of mechanical engineers can quantify any specification decision with independent research and testing results for complete peace of mind.
Completing a build of such scale and complexity within just 16 weeks requires suppliers to adjust the design and build of their products in accordance to the build schedule and deliver them just in time for installation to prevent costly delays to NGD and our local contracting firms. The solution provided by Stulz and Transtherm is a great example of how data centres can work with trusted, reliable and dedicated supply chain partners..
We were ultimately thrilled with the decision to upgrade to a new ambient-only cooling system, rather than simply switch the old chillers for a like-for-like replacement; something which we didn’t think was achievable within our original budget.
Commissioned during one of the hottest UK summers on record, the new system has already demonstrated its performance credentials and we are delighted with the results.
With a dramatic increase in digestion capacity and therefore gas production, the CHP system was working harder than ever before. With the CHP plant working harder, the original coolers were running at higher fan speeds for prolonged periods in order to manage the increased heat dissipation requirement.
It was clear the current cooler specification simply wasn’t able to maintain the engine and intercooler temperatures required for optimum engine performance. This was the point we turned to Transtherm.
Working with Transtherm and the team of engineers from Geoffrey Robinson, we were able to clarify a number of sensible operating conditions in accordance to ARUP’s requirements...
In a project like this one, the keys to success are undoubtedly collaboration and communication up and down the supply chain, ensuring that any changes to the specification are quickly and efficiently implemented.
By working with Transtherm, we have been able to dramatically reduce both the initial capital expenditure and future operating expenditure. The solution is also far more energy-efficient than alternative systems too, delivering considerable savings in electricity and huge reductions in water consumption over comparable adiabatic air-cooling systems. With sustainability key to the successful delivery of the project, the Transtherm system ticks all of the boxes.
Transtherm’s adiabatic coolers are a low maintenance, modern alternative to traditional cooling towers and offer lower Legionella risk and OPEX
Developed with energy efficiency and reliability in mind, our wide range of air blast coolers use the latest heat exchange coil, fan and control technologies
Our cooling solutions for data centre have been recognised by the DCS Awards panel and we are proud winners of the 'Data Centre Cooling Innovation of the Year' Award.
High water temperatures, low noise requirements and footprint considerations – Transtherm’s air blast coolers are designed to take all of these common factors into account
