Closed loop cooling systems offer many advantages over traditional open loop cooling systems in terms of maintaining high system efficiency over time, ongoing maintenance requirements, and application flexibility.
The use of energy efficient evaporative heat rejection, whether open or closed circuit, offers the highest overall system efficiency compared to air cooled alternatives. When choosing between an open circuit cooling tower + heat exchanger combination and a fluid cooler, be sure to evaluate the space available in the equipment room, the availability of maintenance staff, water treatment requirements, and other installation and operational considerations.
Lastly, be sure to compare the total installed cost, rather than simply the initial heat rejection equipment cost, of these two alternatives. Often the fluid cooler based system will offer the lowest total installed cost for the Owner thanks to the simpler system design while allowing more usable space in the building
