With substantial new investment in coating and testing facilities, Searle now has the capability to produce 25% more powerful flatbed and V-bank dry coolers at the top of its DKG and DVG ranges – up to 12 metres in length, and with 16 fansets to enhance cooling airflow. Searle’s new investment in technology also benefits other dry coolers in its extensive range.
Hundreds of remote locations – including island communities and isolated settlements in developing countries where there is no national grid – depend on generators to provide a steady source of electricity. These mini power stations, typically up to 5MW capacity, are built into 40 foot ISO shipping containers for ease of transport. They are driven by engines that run on diesel, LPG or biofuels, and Searle provides the huge “car radiators” that efficiently prevent the engines from overheating. Searle dry coolers are in service with remote and standby generators in regions such as the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, China, Africa and the Middle East.
With the increase in maximum cooler size from 9.6 metres to 12 metres, Searle can now offer generator manufacturers and users additional cooling capacity, in units that fit on top of the power plants. Coolers can also be mounted separately for multiple installations and the modular supporting framework enables units to be positioned for optimum circulation of air.
