Dry Cooler Rental

Efficient Free Cooling with Flexible Mobile Solutions

What is a dry cooler?

A dry cooler is an air-cooled heat exchanger used to reduce the temperature in liquid systems – often without the need for compressor-driven cooling. This makes it an energy-efficient and low-maintenance alternative in many industrial cooling processes.

Dry coolers are ideal during periods of low outdoor temperatures and are commonly used for free cooling, also called "natural cooling," as they don’t require active cooling from chillers.

Advantages of dry cooling

  • Low energy consumption - especially favourable in winter
  • Minimal maintenance - no refrigerant or compressor
  • Reduced operating costs compared to traditional refrigeration
  • Environmentally friendly - no greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants
  • Flexible connection to existing cooling system

What is the difference between dry cooling and mechanical cooling?

Dry cooling uses outdoor air to cool liquid without a compressor or refrigerant, while mechanical cooling requires energy-intensive machines with refrigerants. Dry cooling is more energy efficient and environmentally friendly, especially during cold periods.

When should you choose a dry cooler?

Dry coolers are perfect for:

  • Data centres and server rooms
  • Industrial processes with excess heat
  • Construction sites and testing of HVAC systems
  • Replacing or supplementing chillers during cold periods

Correct dimensioning of dry coolers

Efficiently removing excess heat from cooling systems requires a correctly sized dry cooler, whether it's a rental dry cooler or not. Whether you have heat pumps, chillers, or test heating and cooling equipment, the dry cooler must be adapted to the specific conditions of your system. Factors such as power, noise and physical space affect which solution should be used, and can present challenges for those without expertise. That's why we at Energy Rent offer our expertise to help you make the right choice.

When it comes to choosing a dry cooler, there are many factors that are important to consider. There are many variants, and all have different physical dimensions, sound levels and power. In addition, you need to think about dimensioning temperatures, the need for free cooling and the power required in different seasons. When choosing equipment in other contexts, you often find that higher price equals better solution, but dry coolers follow different rules. That's why it's important to know exactly what you're doing, or to seek help from experts.

Energy Rent helps you dimension new dry coolers and delivers directly from the factory. We are experts in the field and can guarantee that we will find the solution that suits your needs perfectly. We also sell spare parts for fans and can help you throughout the life cycle of your cooler.
