There are dry coolers in EnergyPlus. The two objects for this are FluidCooler:SingleSpeed and FluidCooler:TwoSpeed.
I don't know if they are accessible in DesignBuilder for sure or not as I've not used it, but I've just found one email in my inbox that says they added Fluid Coolders to DB last June.
As far as OpenStudio: FluidCoolers just got included in the 1.9.0 release candidate. Thermal Storage was already in 1.8.0

I think the only thing you'll miss is the Material:PhaseChange object but you can access it through an E+ measure I guess.
