Advantages of Forced Draft Cross Flow Cooling Tower
1. Fan Maintenance Advantages:
- Fans handle cool, dry ambient air (less corrosive)
- Longer fan/motor life
- Easier access at ground level
- Standard materials often sufficient
2. Mechanical Simplicity:
- No complex top supports
- Lower vibration transmission to structure
- Simpler drive arrangements
3. Reduced Recirculation in Certain Setups:
- High-velocity air inlet can create air curtain effect
- Less sensitive to adjacent tower placement
4. Water Distribution Stability:
- Positive pressure may reduce wind effects on falling water
- More stable water sheets in windy conditions
