IWC Closed Circuit Cooling Solution for ACRA Academy

IWC recently donated a fully operational closed circuit cooling system to ACRA (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Academy). The cooling system which includes our baby, the EWK036 package cooling tower and the AT60M plate heat exchanger, will be used to train students in all aspects of process cooling.

The EWK036 package cooling tower can be used in any small to medium size industry such as distilleries, dry cleaners and has even been used in a Gelati ice cream store. The AT60M heat exchanger can also be used for many applications, such as water/water and water/oil up to 110°C.

Our IWC team, Deon Fawell, NBD Manager, and Christine Storey, Marketing and Communications Manager, were on site to present and handover the tower over to Grant Laidlaw, CEO of ACRA.

ACRA is a SETA accredited trade test centre offering learnerships, apprenticeships and adult training in all aspects of the air conditioning and refrigeration fields up to technician level.
