EVAPCO, a pioneer in heat transfer solutions and a proudly employee-owned company headquartered in Taneytown, Maryland, partnered with the Carroll County Career & Technology Center (CCCTC) to provide an exciting opportunity for students in the “Project Lead the Way” Engineering program.
Engineering Instructors at CCCTC were challenged with a unique assignment to design a fully detailed 3D model of an EVAPCO eco-Air® Series Double Stack Dry Cooler. This industrial cooling unit plays a crucial role in applications where water conservation and efficiency are paramount, such as data centers, power plants, and manufacturing facilities. The project offered the Engineering Instructors the chance to take on a real-world engineering challenge, applying their technical skills in 3D drafting, modelling, and design while collaborating with a professional organization.
Over a short timeframe, the students worked diligently to develop an accurate and functional .STL file of the cooler for 3D printing. Their work involved interpreting complex dimensions, refining geometric features, and simulating real product conditions. Upon completion, the digital model was sent to EVAPCO headquarters, where it was brought to life via 3D printing.
