The TOPAZ adiabatic cooler is a heat exchanger; calories / heat are rejected to atmosphere.
The TOPAZ adiabatic cooler is a combination of dry cooler with an adiabatic precooling section: this precooling section lowers ambient air temperature by evaporating water which is
passed over the cooling / humidifying pads, specially designed for this purpose. The fluid is
cooled in the dry tube coil by ambient air flow. The ambient air is drawn through the coils by
fans mounted centrally on the top of the Cooler; the humidifying pads located in front of the
coils are dry. The fan speed is controlled by an inverter depending on heat load to maintain
the fluid outlet temperature. The warm air is then evacuated upwards. When cooling in dry
mode is not effective and the ambient temperature reaches a predetermined set point, the
pads are saturated with water from the sump.
The ambient air is cooled by evaporation when passing through the pads.This precooled air
then passes through the tube coils and cools the fluid. The water which has not been evaporated on the pads is collected in a collector and then flows to sump. The collected water is recirculated with the make-up water from the sump to be re-distributed over the pads. The water saving is significant and does not require water treatment, it is without risk of Legionella.
The TOPAZ range is robust due to its design, choice of materials and vortex sintering. The
device is specially developed for both urban and industrial environments.

Pre-cooling by Evaporation
The evaporation section is used to precool the ambient inlet air.
The cooling / humidifying media covers the whole air inlet section,
on both sides of the unit. The design and the choice of materials
haveproventogivebestefficiencyandlongoperatinglife,bothin
urban and industrial environments.
The cooling / humidifying pads are made of special cellulose,
chemically treated to avoid moisture and to improve water absorbing characteristics.
selected to simplify maintenance, the media pads are not directional. it is easy to disassemble the cooling / humidifying pads,
without tools or special access requirements.
Theprecoolingcircuitisactivatedwhenthefluidoutlettemperature is higher than the set point. This wet / dry set point is around
23 °C in a continental climate, for a fluid outlet temperature of
27°C.

Water Distribution
The water distribution channels with long-term protection against
corrosion with vortex sintering are entirely enclosed on the top and
do not require any pressure to operate. They are located outside
the airflow and distribute water evenly onto the pads, in full safety. Their “u” shape makes internal cleaning very easy, without any
tools, handles are provided to aid removal.
The water basin with vortex sintering collect the water which has
not been evaporated. The water is sent to the sump for recirculation by means of a pump.
Collected water is re-circulated without any bacteriological risk
(temperature is below the level for bacterial growth): The water
consumptionisdividedbyafactorof3.
06
The system includes a drain valve that automatically opens to dump the water from
the sump if the cooling section has been
usedduringtheprevious24hours.
A drying cycle is incorporated which will
drain the sump completely and will dry the
pads and other items which come into contact with water by running the fans at high
speed. This function minimises bacteria
growth potential and prolongs pad life.
The water recirculating system reduces
water consumption by approx. 70%.

Motor fan sets
The motor fan sets draw the air through the pads, then
through the tube coils..
A permanent-magnet motor, specially developed to minimizepowerconsumption(overie3efficiency)isdirectly
coupled to a low speed axial fan. This combination offers
bothpowerefficiencyandoptimizedsoundlevel.Themotor fan coupling is direct and requires no maintenance.
The blades are made of aluminum, and the hub is made
of steel, the blade angle adjustment is made stand still.
As an option, sound attenuators can be provided to significantlyreducethesoundlevels.
Permanent magnet motors
The TOPAZ adiabatic cooler is a cutting edge
technology and shows exceptional performance
(efficiencyoverie3).TheyareiP55insulation
class,380/400v.
This efficiency places the ToPaZ range at the
peakofenergyefficiency,especiallyasthemotors are always controlled by the inverter.
The magnets create their own magnetic field
without induced power. The motor runs cooler,
is smaller and lighter and has maintenance and
handling benefits. also, a lower temperature
means long-lasting bearings (grease nipples directlyonthemotor),andinsulationmaterials.
These motors have a low carbon footprint =>
power savings.

the electrical panel: it has an external screen for full safe
maintenance.
so it can be operated safely, without the use of specifically
trained operators.

Intelligent access. The TOPAZ adiabatic cooler has been designed with three main goals: thermal performance, hygiene and
ease of maintenance.
Therefore, the following technical features are incorporated: “H”

the whole height of the cooler.
TOPAZ is equipped with an automated roller shutter door without
doorstep. The motor/fan set is removable and can be extracted
from inside for maintenance. Accordingly, lifting equipment*, safety
guards or walkways are not necessary to carry out maintenance.
*As an option; a hydraulic lifting table allows removal of the motor/
fan set in complete safety, without means of other lifting equipment.
Also, easy handling of the humidifying pads is possible, without any
lifting/ handling tools.
