Units designed to meet the increasing demand for free-cooling applications, they optimise the benefits coming from the adiabatic saturation of the air adopting a water recirculation system and electronically commutated large-diameter fans.
The water and power consumption are thus minimised, resulting in C.O.P. maximisation and the possibility to use “free-cooling” applications throughout all the year.

Features:
- Self-draining system: no risk of water stagnation. All the water is automatically drained every 24 hours
- The system prevents the proliferation of legionella by avoiding droplets in the airflow.
- Ease of maintenance thanks to the full access to the inside of the unit; all the components of the hydraulic system are inspectable

Adiabatic Saturation Theory
- Adiabatic saturation temperature is a thermodynamic property of humid air. It represents the temperature that can be achieved by air when it reaches saturation condition through an adiabatic transformation.
- The adiabatic saturation temperature falls – since evaporating water removes heat – though it is still higher than the dew temperature, as evaporation itself raises the partial pressure of water vapour.
