Advantages of Counter Flow Closed Circuit Design: Applications: This type of tower is specified for applications where efficiency, space savings, and cold-weather operation are critical: Freeze-Sensitive Applications: Any process in a cold climate that operates year-round, as the design mitigates ice formation.

Counter Flow vs. Cross Flow in Closed Circuit Towers This is a crucial distinction. The following table highlights the differences specific to closed-circuit designs: Feature Counter Flow Closed Circuit Tower Cross Flow Closed Circuit Tower Air/Spray Water Flow Vertical, opposite directions. Air up, water down....

Counter Flow Closed Circuit cooling Tower Counter Flow Closed Circuit Cooling Tower is a highly efficient hybrid cooling system that combines the process protection of a closed loop with the thermal efficiency of evaporative cooling and the design advantages of counter-flow air/water contact. In this design: This...

Advantages of Cross Flow Design: Applications: Cross flow cooling towers are used in the same vast array of applications as other cooling towers, including:

Cross Flow Evaporative Cooling Tower In a cross-flow cooling tower, the flow of air is directed perpendicular (across) the downward flow of the water being cooled. This is in contrast to a counter flow design, where air moves directly upward against the downward flow of water. This cross-flow arrangement defines the...
