How to Prevent Scaling in Cooling Towers: 10 Proven Methods Scaling occurs when dissolved minerals (like calcium, magnesium, silica) precipitate out of water and form hard deposits on fill media, pipes, and heat exchangers. This reduces heat transfer efficiency, increases energy costs, and can lead to corrosion. Here’s a...

How to Reduce Water Loss in Cooling Towers: 10 Effective Strategies Water loss in cooling towers occurs through evaporation, drift (mist), blowdown (draining concentrated water), and leaks. Here’s a step-by-step guide to minimize waste and improve efficiency: 1. Install High-Efficiency Drift Eliminators 2. Optimize Blowdown (Cycles of...

Purpose of Drift Eliminators in Cooling Towers Drift eliminators are essential components in cooling towers designed to minimize water loss, improve efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. Here’s a detailed breakdown of their key functions . Prevent Water Loss (“Drift”) 2. Reduce Chemical Treatment Costs 3. Environmental &...

Effect of Flute Size in Cooling Tower Film Fill The flute size (channel dimensions) of film fill directly impacts thermal efficiency, pressure drop, fouling resistance, and overall cooling tower performance. Here’s a detailed breakdown: 1. What is Flute Size? Film fill consists of corrugated sheets with small channels...

Drift Eliminators in Cooling Towers: Purpose, Types & Function What is a Drift Eliminator? A drift eliminator is a critical cooling tower component that captures water droplets entrained in the exhaust air stream, preventing wasteful water loss (“drift”) and reducing environmental impact. It ensures...
