Spray coolers may be used to handle the total heat dissipation requirements. In other cases they can be used as an alternate or supplement to cooling towers or cooling ponds, particularly during peak loadings.

In the treatment of wastewater, cooling may be required to achieve the most favorable biological activity. While process water may need cooling to reach permitted discharge levels. In either case, the Aqua-Lator spray cooler provides the optimal design for peak heat transfer, efficiently and with low power consumption and drift loss.
