Closed Circuit cooling tower is also known as Evaporative Cooling Tower. An evaporative cooling tower is a heat exchanger that transfers heat from circulating water to the atmosphere. Warm water from the heat source is pumped to the top of the tower and will than flow down through plastic or wooden shells. As it falls […]
Forced draft In forced draft cooling towers, air is “pushed” through the tower from an inlet to an exhaust. A forced draft mechanical draft tower is a blow-through arrangement, where a blower type fan at the intake forces air through the tower. The forced draft cooling towers have certain disadvantages: 1. The blower forces outside […]
Cooling Tower Terms and Definitions Some useful terms, commonly used in the cooling tower industry: 1. BTU (British thermal unit) – BTU is the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit in the range from 32° F to 212° F. 2. Cooling Range – The difference in […]
Components of Cooling Tower The basic components of an evaporative tower are: Frame and casing, fill, cold water basin, drift eliminators, air inlet, louvers, nozzles and fans. Frame and casing: Most towers have structural frames that support the exterior enclosures (casings), motors, fans, and other components. With some smaller designs, such as some glass fiber […]
Cooling towers are a very important part of many chemical plants. The primary task of a cooling tower is to reject heat into the atmosphere. They represent a relatively inexpensive and dependable means of removing low-grade heat from cooling water. The make-up water source is used to replenish water lost to evaporation. Hot water from […]
