Source: SPX Cooling Technologies, Inc.Source: SPX Cooling Technologies, Inc.Evaporative cooling tower and air-cooled heat exchanger manufacturer SPX Cooling Technologies, Inc., has introduced its new Marley MH Element fluid cooler, an induced-draft, crossflow closed-circuit cooling tower designed for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), industrial and process cooling use cases.

According to SPX Cooling Technologies Inc., the fluid cooler system’s hybrid operation and high-efficiency components deliver additional thermal capacity with a smaller footprint and lower fan power.

When measured against fluid coolers that use traditional HDG coils, the Marley MH Element fluid cooler provides 15% more thermal capacity, is 20% lighter per footprint, requires 35% less fluid volume and uses 35% less fan power. Likewise, the system’s high-performance copper coils offer seven times more thermal conductivity and can be drained, which extends the service life with the design’s corrosion resistance. The copper coils also reportedly feature bacteriostatic properties.

The Marley MH Element incorporates both cooling tower and heat exchanger functions into one design. The process fluid is held in a clean, closed loop, which protects the system from contamination. Meanwhile, the hybrid design of the fluid cooler employs a mixture of fill media and surface coils, which offer improved performance compared to standard closed-circuit coolers.

Featuring higher capacity per footprint than standard closed-circuit designs, the Marley MH Element fluid cooler is appropriate for applications with limited space.
