Rotary coolers work by tumbling material in a rotating drum in the presence of chilled or ambient
air. The drum is set at a slight horizontal slope to allow gravity to assist in moving material through
the drum. Lifting flights maximize heat transfer efficiency by lifting up material and dropping it
through the chilled air as the drum rotates. Indirect water deluge coolers
(http://feeco.com/indirect-coolers/) are also available.

Indirect rotary coolers rely on heat transfer through the drum shell to cool material, utilizing cool
water bathed over the drum as it rotates in order to cool the drum shell and subsequently the
material within. This method, commonly called indirect water deluge, is ideal in situations where
lightweight materials such as pigments or other powders could become entrained in the air
stream of a direct cooler, resulting in product loss.
Another reason for utilizing an indirect rotary cooler is that it allows for keeping a controlled
environment within the cooler, for example, in situations where material will oxidize or burn should
it come into contact with air.

Indirect rotary coolers can be designed as part of a recycle circuit, where warm water coming
off the drum is run through a heat exchanger to cool it and send it back to the beginning of the
process. They can also be integrated into existing systems.
