A heat exchange system for cooling a fluid to be cooled, such as ammonia or water, has conduits (28) for conducting said fluid in indirect heat relationship to a heat absorbing coolant liquid flowing in other conduits (26). Simultaneously, air is forced or induced by a fan (18) to flow across the conduits (28) to achieve additional cooling of the fluid to be cooled. The heated absorbing liquid is conducted from its associated conduits (26) and dispersed by nozzles (56) into air, before or after the passage of the air across the conduits (28), in accordance with air temperature and heat load conditions to evaporate some of the heat absorbing liquid and thereby effect cooling of the heat absorbing liquid. The cooled heat absorbing liquid is recirculated (e.g. from a reservoir 22) to its associated conduits (26) for cooling additional quantities of fluid to be cooled flowing through its associated conduits (28). <IMAGE> |
