Air Cooled vs Water Cooled Air Compressors

Compressors reject heat through air or water, and the cooling method affects installation, efficiency and maintenance.

Air Cooled Designs

Simple and self-contained, air cooled machines need good ventilation but no cooling water supply.

Water Cooled Designs

Water cooling suits large machines and hot sites, enabling heat recovery but requiring a water circuit.

Choosing the Method

Consider site water, ambient temperature and heat recovery plans when selecting the cooling type.
