Abstract:
A once-through dry adiabatic cooler having a water distribution system, a waste water sensor, and a controller, where the amount of waste water, if any, is detected, and the amount of water distributed to an air flow path adjacent to the coils of said cooler is adjusted so that the amount of water detected is as close to zero as possible, or, in the case of the use of adiabatic pads that require flushing, only the amount of water necessary to flush salt and other minerals from said pads.

Claim (Index 1):
A once-through dry adiabatic cooler, comprising:\n A frame; two tube bundles arranged in said frame in a vertically oriented V-shape; each of said tube bundles having an inlet header and an outlet header, said inlet header configured and located to receive hot process fluid and to distribute it to a corresponding tube bundle and said outlet header configured and located to receive cooled process fluid from said tube bundle; said two tube bundles each comprising a plurality of horizontally arranged finned tubes connected to adjacent tubes with tube bends; a plurality of fans supported by said frame above said tube bundles configured to draw air through said tube bundles and out through a top of said fan; a water distribution system configured and located to wet and cool said air prior to being drawn through said tube bundles using fresh uncirculated water; a valve system configured and located to control an amount of water that is delivered to said air via said water distribution system; a water sensor configured and located to measure an amount of water that is exposed to said air by said water distribution system but which is not evaporated from said air; a controller operatively connected to said valve system and said water sensor and configured to receive data from said water sensor and to control said valve system so that only a predetermined amount of water is delivered by said water distribution system.
