Introducing NIMBUS® Advanced Process Cooling: Creator of the Innovative Hybrid Adiabatic Coolers

At Gritton & Associates, we have made it our mission to represent pioneering companies that shape the trajectory of the HVAC industry. Today, we are thrilled to welcome one such manufacturing partner into our lineup: NIMBUS® Advanced Process Cooling, whose flagship adiabatic coolers are championing conservation, energy efficiency, and health consciousness.

When the importance of sustainability and responsible resource utilization are continuously mounting, NIMBUS stands at the forefront, redefining the HVAC landscape with their cutting-edge process cooling solutions.

NIMBUS Revolutionizes the Adiabatic Cooler

Since it was developed, through extensive research and testing in metal melting environments, the adiabatic process has been widely accepted and applied in other parts of the world like Europe, but it remains underutilized in the United States. In response, NIMBUS has taken on the challenge of introducing this efficient and sustainable cooling technology to the country.

Dedicated to making the most efficient, natural, and sustainable cooling technology available in the United States, NIMBUS developed hybrid adiabatic coolers that combine the benefits of fluid coolers and dry cooler systems, while mitigating their risks.

With this pioneering spirit and commitment to progress, Nimbus continues to produce top-tier process cooling solutions—the kind of innovation we are thrilled to offer our clients.

VIRGA® Adiabatic Coolers: The Best of the Dry Air System & Fluid Cooling System

With a focus on clean air, energy efficiency, and system longevity, VIRGA adiabatic coolers address both traditional challenges and modern environmental concerns.

Prioritizing Clean Air & Public Safety

The traditional evaporative cooling system is notorious for harboring Legionella, the bacteria responsible for Legionnaires’ disease. VIRGA adiabatic coolers combat the threat of  Legionnaires’ in cooling towers by utilizing a closed coolant path and eliminating standing water altogether. Instead, fresh water is triggered only on the hottest days of the year—both reducing the risk of Legionella disease in water and minimizing water consumption.

Maximizing Efficiency & Longevity

VIRGA hybrid adiabatic coolers employ a revolutionary process to ensure efficient cooling while reducing water usage: with a smart fan system, VIRGA adiabatic coolers excel in energy efficiency. System controls activate fans intermittently, cycling on and off to maintain the ideal water temperature. As temperatures rise, a light water mist is released, lowering air temperature and enhancing cooling power.

Mineral deposit buildup can quickly hamper cooling efficiency. VIRGA adiabatic coolers address this issue with coated aluminum fins and corrosion-resistant copper tubing to guarantee optimal performance and longevity.

In addition to reducing the risk of bacterial growth, the VIRGA self-draining spray system and elimination of standing water prevents system freezing and ice build up to lower maintenance needs and support system durability.

BOREAS® Dry Cooling Systems: Accommodating Limited Space and Tight Water Restrictions

Like VIRGA hybrid adiabatic coolers, the BOREAS and BOREAS V-Series dry air cooling systems assure durability, bacteria growth prevention, and water conservation. However, they are further tailored to meet the needs of facilities operating against limited resources.

Optimizing Water Conservation

For industries and facilities that want to prioritize both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility, while limiting strain on water resources, the BOREAS dry air system offers a pragmatic solution.

By minimizing the reliance on water while maintaining exceptional cooling performance, the Boreas dry cooler systems also provide a practical solution to our clients operating in the face of Utah, Montana, and Idaho water restrictions.

Fitting in Small Spaces & Facilitating Low Maintenance

The BOREAS V-Series dry cooler systems are designed in a compact V-shape to cater to facilities where space is at a premium, minimizing their physical impact without compromising their cooling capacity. Unlike some traditional fluid coolers, BOREAS systems do not require rigorous maintenance routines to prevent issues like mineral deposits and Legionella growth.

At Gritton & Associates, we’re committed to delivering not only exceptional products but also tailored solutions that address real-world challenges: the integration of the VIRGA adiabatic coolers and BOREAS dry cooler lines are a testament to that commitment.

As industries pivot towards sustainable practices, Gritton & Associates proudly stands alongside NIMBUS, championing innovation that transforms the industrial landscape through health preservation, water conservation, and energy efficiency.
