Motivair closed circuit cooling systems can dramatically cut the operating cost of water-cooled industrial equipment and machinery. Examples are air compressors, turbines, furnaces, hydraulics, or any industrial equipment which requires a source of cool, clean water, in order to function correctly.

Some industrial facilities have cooling tower, river or seawater available for cooling purposes, but this may not be compatible with the equipment to be cooled because of blockage or contamination.

Motivair Plate & Frame systems are a combination of a stainless steel plate and frame heat exchanger, mounted on a common skid with a closed circuit fluid circulation pump and control panel. The raw water is passed through one side of the exchanger, while the pump forces a closed circuit water or glycol solution through the clean side. In this way, the raw water cools the closed circuit fluid, which in turn cools the heat load, without any risk of equipment contamination. Optional duplex pumps, and heat exchangers provide added redundancy, and allow one exchanger to be disassembled for cleaning while the other is in service. The limitation of a Plate & Frame cooling system is the fluid can be cooled to within a few degrees of the raw water temperature. (See our pages on Dry Fluid Coolers, Evaporative Fluid Coolers, and Packaged Chillers if other fluid temperatures are required.)
