Advantages of Induced Draft Induced Draft Cross Flow Cooling Tower
- Energy Efficiency:
- Fan handles less dense warm air (volume increases when heated)
- Requires less fan power than pushing cold dense air (as in forced draft)
- Reduced Recirculation:
- High-velocity vertical discharge disperses exhaust air upward
- Minimal hot air re-entry into inlets
- Better Air Distribution:
- Negative pressure creates even horizontal airflow
- Prevents “dead zones” in fill media
- Weather Protection:
- Fan exhaust prevents rain/snow ingress
- Reduced icing risk in cold climates
- Maintenance Advantages:
- Mechanical components concentrated at top
- Easier access for fan/motor maintenance
