Role and Use of Drift Eliminators in Cooling Towers Drift eliminators are critical components in cooling towers designed to minimize water loss and reduce environmental impact by capturing entrained water droplets from the exhaust air stream. 1. Purpose of Drift Eliminators > Prevent Water Loss – Recovers...

Types of Chemical Treatments Used in Wooden Cooling Towers To enhance durability and resistance to rot, fungi, and insects, wooden cooling towers are often treated with preservatives. The most common treatments include: 1. Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) ◉ Best for: High rot & insect resistance (historically...

Role and Use of Fills in Cooling Towers Fills (also called packing or heat transfer media) are essential components in cooling towers that maximize heat exchange between hot water and air. They increase the surface area and contact time for efficient cooling. 1. Purpose of Fills in Cooling Towers...

Types of Wood Used in Wooden Cooling Towers Wooden cooling towers require durable, rot-resistant, and chemically stable wood species. The most commonly used woods include: 1. Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) ◉ Best For: High resistance to decay, moisture, and insects.◉ Advantages: Naturally resistant to rot, fungi, and termites due to tannins...

Use of Fans in Cooling Towers Fans are a critical component in mechanical draft cooling towers, ensuring efficient air circulation to enhance heat exchange between water and air. Their role varies depending on the cooling tower type (forced draft, induced draft, or hybrid systems). 1. Purpose of Fans in Cooling Towers Fans are used to:> Force...
