July 17, 2006—PowerCold Corporation announced that the company sold and delivered six 75-ton fluid coolers of the new PowerCold Wet/Dry Fluid Cooler (WDFC) product line to an air conditioning contractor in Honolulu, Hawaii. The units are currently being installed at the 40-story Executive Center in Honolulu.
The new units are replacing worn-out corrosive cooling towers at the Executive Center. PowerCold’s equipment was chosen because the building owner wanted to save money on his power and water usage at a cost-effective replacement price. The new system was designed using PowerCold WDFC products based on their low kw/ton cost and low water consumption.
PowerCold’s PlexCoil, a newly developed proprietary heat transfer tubing coil using DuPont Caltrel engineered polymer materials, is used in the new Wet/Cry Fluid Cooler (WDFC) product line. The energy-saving units operate wet and dry: wet in hot weather and dry in cooler weather resulting in water savings up to 70%.
Because of the highly corrosive salt environment in Hawaii and other coastal areas PowerCold believes its Fluid Coolers with PlexCoil technology will have a life expectancy many times greater than equipment sold by other manufacturers.
