HOUSTON, TX – March 18, 2022 - The Cooling Technology Institute is proud to
announce the inclusion of dry fluid coolers as part of its existing Thermal Performance
Certification Program based on CTI Standard 201. Both forced and induced draft dry
coolers are covered by the Program, cooling either water or aqueous glycol solutions.
By purchasing a CTI Certified model, an Owner / Operator has the assurance that the heat
rejection device will perform thermally as specified.
Currently, there are 79 Manufacturers along with 17 private brand affiliates participating
in the Thermal Certification Program from all regions of the globe with 192 certified open
and closed-circuit cooling tower product lines available to the market, comprising a total
of over 53,000 individual models. All Manufacturers who are interested in certifying
their dry fluid cooler product lines are invited to do so by filling out the Thermal
