Abstract:
The differences between direct and indirect cooling will be explained in terms of the individual equipment design and operation. A comparison between the cooling capacities of direct and indirect units will further assist attendees in identifying which type of cooling to specify for their applications. Examples for different processes and applications will then be used to show the type of cooling that works best for the individual application. The presentation also discusses why cooling, though commonly overlooked, is possibly the most important part of the process.

Presenter:   Wes Moffitt, Wittmann Inc.
