The Cooling Technology Institute has begun the development of a new thermal performance certification program for adiabatic fluid coolers. CTI anticipates launching this new program in the first half of 2025 as part of its existing Thermal Performance Certification Program based on CTI Standard 201.
CTI has begun developing a new thermal performance certification program for adiabatic fluid coolers.
This well-established program includes open- and closed-circuit cooling towers and dry coolers. Both forced and induced draft adiabatic fluid coolers are anticipated to be covered by this new certification program, cooling either water or aqueous glycol solutions. By purchasing a CTI certified model, an owner/operator has assurance the heat rejection device will perform thermally as specified.
Currently, there are 98 manufacturers along with 29 private brand affiliates participating in the Thermal Certification Program from all regions of the globe with 271 certified open- and closed-circuit cooling tower and dry cooler product lines available to the market, comprising a total of over 80,000 individual models. All manufacturers who are interested in certifying either their cooling tower, dry cooler or adiabatic fluid cooler product lines are invited to do so by filling out the Thermal Certification inquiry form.
About Cooling Technology Institute
The Cooling Technology Institute is a broad-based industry association. Its mission is to advocate and promote, for the benefit of the public, the use of all environmentally responsible commercial cooling technologies such as wet cooling towers, air-cooled condensers, dry coolers, indirect cooling and hybrid systems by encouraging education, the development of codes, standards and guidelines, the use and oversight of independent performance verification and certification programs, research and development, information exchange and dialog with government agencies and organizations with a shared interest in evaporative heat rejection equipment.
