Dry Coolers Inc. is very pleased to announce that we have just completed
and installed a new chilled water system for cooling the anodizing
line in Elm Plating Plant #2 in Jackson, Michigan. This system is
designed to control hardcoat tank temperatures at 32°F +/- 1°F.
It was fully designed, engineered, fabricated, tested, installed,
and run off by Dry Coolers. See the photos and captions below for
an inside look at this exciting installation.
