Forced Draft Cooling Towers

Forced Draft Cooling towers:

Cool flow Cooling Towers offers Forced Draft Cooling Towers, CFFD Series. Forced draft cooling towers are manufactured with a complete range of up to 450 TR in a single cell. Higher capacity cooling towers are available with multi cell configuration. PVT fill media, the heart of Forced draft cooling tower, can withstand a temperature of up to 55 degree C. The hot water distribution system is a network of PVC pipes and is designed to operate with minimum of maintenance, thus, eliminating the possibilities of blockage of sprinkler pipe holes and sprinkler head due to scaling and presence of foreign material in the water.

Process:

The hyperbolic shell achieves a Forced draft effect which supports the fans arranged around the circumference of the cooling tower shell. Therefore the power consumption of the fans is reduced. The Forced draft cooling tower is separated in different sections, which can be isolated, to ensure operation with lower water quantities. Also maintenance activities can be accomplished in shut-off sections while the rest of the cooling tower is still in operation.

Advantages;

  1. Saving in space consumption
    The clearance required for forced draft cooling towers is only from one side in the fan direction. Thereby, saving 50 % of effective space required, as compared to other induced draft cooling towers.
  2. Saving in power consumption
    The actual power consumed by forced draft cooling tower fan motor is less, as they handle dry air, as compared to other induced draft cooling towers, which handle humid air.
  3. Twin fan & twin motor operation
    Higher capacity cooling towers are provided with twin fans & twin motors. The cooling tower can be operated on part load by switching off one fan & saving energy. In case of motor break down, the cooling tower can still be operated on part load, rather than being shut down.\
  4. Easy maintenance
    The fan assembly and other cooling tower intervals are easily accessible. The distribution system can be attended to, while the cooling tower is in operation. The fan assembly & motor are easy to inspect, as they are installed near the cooling tower foundation, as compared to other induced draft cooling towers.
  5. Reduced down time during maintenance
    Forced draft cooling towers can be easily dismantled and assembled back, during periodic routine maintenance.

Features:

  1. Saving in power consumption
  2. Saving in space consumption
  3. Saving in water consumption
  4. Easy maintenance during cooling tower in operation
  5. Reduced down time
  6. Higher range of cooling towers are designed with multiple fans and multiple motors, enabling the user to operated the cooling tower on part load, whenever required
  7. All components are easily accessible during operation
  8. Very low drift losses
  9. Can be operated with centrifugal fans for soundless operation
  10. Minimum clearance required for installation
