MITA Cooling Technologies supports customers with preliminary performances and resource use analysis to propose always the best cooling solution. Business clients often contact MITA with sustainbaility needs, as a reuslt the company has expanded its product portfolio with highly resource efficient cooling machines.

Problem

Plastic processing and manufacturing are water intensive activities. As consumers become more aware of the environemnt effects of production, companies are pushed towards sustainability and resource efficiency.

Solution

To meet the sustainability needs of clients, MITA sells PAD-V adiabetic coolers. Air cooling systems are based on sensible heat exchange between the fluid flowing inside the tubes of a battery and the air that brushes against the finned surface of the latter. PAD-V is an adiabatic cooler and condenser, commonly referred to as an adiabatic dry cooler, that can be function both with dry operation (during the winter) and adiabetic operation (during the summer). PAD-V uses the cooling action of the air alone during the autumn and winter: in this way, the cold outdoor air reaches the battery circuit containing the fluid to be cooled. The outside air is only adiabatically cooled using water during the spring and summer, before being conveyed to the batteries. The natural consequence is that, for half of the year, there is no need to use water in the system.

Outcome

The company has experience working with plastic manufacturers succesfully reducing their water consumption (case study in the links)
