Jacir Expertise Delivers Efficient Turnkey Solution for PowerGen Cooling Plant
May 17, 2012
When MAN Diesel needed the perfect cooling plant solution for 10 diesel engines pumping out 128MW of duty at their site in Moa Cuba, Jacir won the contract through their combination of cutting-edge technological know-how, very reliable materials, easy maintenance and the experience of many worldwide applications in varying and challenging conditions.
The customers’ genuine concern was power optimisation and they were confident that the vast proven experience Jacir has in this field together with the superior efficiency demonstrated by the use of cooling towers would prove to be the perfect answer.
Operating costs are also fundamental to the competitiveness of a power plant so this was crucial to keep them as low as possible. The fact that the end user wanted to save the most water possible was a deciding factor in choosing stainless steel as it offered the possibility of reaching higher concentration rates of water (in circulation on the secondary loop) through a lower blow-down (30-35% saving compared to galvanized-steel).
The project was managed on the client side by the MAN Engineering Division in Canada and Jacir has designed the cooling plant including 3D drawings. The complete project comprises; the cooling of 10 diesel engines and each is cooled through a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) for each engine, the total duty was 128MW, 10 x 329 m3/h and 73°C in and 40°C out with a Wet Bulb temperature of 28°C on 2 large concrete basins.
A complete turnkey cooling plant has been delivered including 10 twin VAP towers with the skids and complete with pumps, filters, pipework and water treatment; all the metallic parts in contact with the water (PHE plates, piping, filter, some supports etc.) were offered in AISI 316, due to the corrosive water – 21 containers in total.
If you have a project – large or small – we welcome the opportunity to present our know-how to you for providing single cooling towers or complete turnkey cooling plants anywhere worldwide.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturer chooses the flexibility of Jacir Cooling Towers for demanding environment
April 3, 2012
When you are manufacturing pharmaceuticals in a Russian city that experiences a subarctic climate with very cold, very dry winters and very warm and wet summers your capital equipment requirement is critical to your production and needs to be up to the job.
That’s why when this European manufacturer had their new factory built, their preferred autoclave supplier Lagarde, recommended they purchase a Jacir Cooling Tower to guarantee the Lagarde SA1300 Autoclave with 5Paniers maintains its peak operating temperature during the most demanding of conditions.
The Lagarde retort is used constantly throughout the production shift and generates excessive heat whilst running. It’s fitted with a plate heat exchanger which needs a steady supply of cooled water to transfer the heat from the retort to prevent overheating cooling 1500 kg of products from 121°C to 35°C.
A Jacir open-type hybrid cooling tower was specified for the job is from the ATM Range and was supplied in galvanised steel with an output of 523 kW and a flow rate of 45m3/s.
Due to operating in an extremely low ambient temperature for much of the year, the cooling tower has inverter fan control and additionally the basin has been fitted with 30kW of heating to prevent freezing.
The latest ATM Series low-noise cooling towers are typically delivered pre-assembled in the Jacir factory for easy installation and are a very compact, modular system and is the perfect solution for HVAC, petrochemical and industrial applications between 50-3000 kW.

interclima+elec, the perfect place to announce the Jacir Cooling Tower Jubilee year
February 2, 2012
Interclima+elec reflects the convergence in the field of multi energy and multi technology in the building sector (hvac & refrigeration, home & building management systems) and none can be more worthy of this than Jacir- Air Traitement and where better to promote their 50-year Jubilee than the Interclima+elec exhibition February 7th – 10th 2012 – Paris Porte de Versailles – Hall 7.
Held every two years in Paris, this is the landmark event where the entire industry (installers, contractors, architects, engineers, distributors) can enjoy the opportunity of discovering the most innovative solutions which combine energy efficiency, use of renewables and building comfort.
It’s the one and only platform where they can exchange, learn, and find concrete answers for their projects.
Jacir, who are a prominent worldwide manufacturer of cooling towers, will be focusing on four of their key areas expertise:
Anti-freeze plume suppression coil
- Fully removable stainless steel header covers (allows full access and cleaning)
- Cover type configuration protects the coil from accidental damage related to possible freeze-over
New generation VAP
- Exceptional service life
- Simplified maintenance
- Fully removable and cleanable
- No mechanical transmission
- Complies with the XP E 38-424 standard
FRC centrifugal filter (Jacir Patent filed)
- Integrated as the standard in our CRF and KSF closed-circuit towers, the FRC filter is a simple yet effective arm against Legionella
- The exchanger resists clogging (highly-turbulent flow)
- FRC system for filtering particulate matter in water discouraging bacteriological proliferation
Cooling tower rentals
- This includes our cooling towers and adiabatic coolers
Jacir – Air Traitement is ahead of market environmental standards; integrating noise requirements, different ventilation needs, materials and packing adapted to each application whether industrial or buildings.
Most of the ranges are scalable and can subsequently be fitted with plume suppression, water saving systems and sound-proofing to suit all conditions and environments.
Beyond an extensive range of systems made in France, Jacir – Air Traitement offers full support and maintenance services for its products. In the UK thewhole range is supplied and supported by Clever Engineering; contact them now for fast quotations and fast delivery on 0845 057 3097.
