Cooling Towers

Honeycomb Packing (Structured Fill) in Cooling Towers Honeycomb packing, also known as structured fill, is an advanced type of cooling tower fill media designed for maximum thermal efficiency and low energy consumption. Its unique hexagonal cell structure (resembling a beehive) optimizes air-water contact while...

Film Packing (Film Fill) in Cooling TowersFilm packing (or film fill) is a high-efficiency cooling tower fill media designed to maximize heat transfer by spreading hot water into a thin film over a large surface area enhancing evaporation and cooling. It is the most common and thermally efficient fill type used in modern cooling towers. How...

Splash Packing (Splash Fill) in Cooling Towers Splash packing (or splash fill) is a type of cooling tower fill media designed to enhance heat transfer by breaking hot water into small droplets, increasing its exposure to cooling air. Unlike film fill (which spreads water into a thin film), splash fill relies...

Types of Cooling Tower Packing (Fill Media) Cooling tower packing (or fill media) is a critical component that maximizes heat transfer by increasing the surface area for air-water contact. The right packing improves efficiency, reduces energy costs, and extends tower life. 1. Splash Packing (Splash Fill) 2. Film Packing...

A cooling tower sprinkler (also called a water distribution system) is a critical component in cooling towers that ensures even water distribution over the fill media to maximize heat transfer efficiency. Functions of a Cooling Tower SprinklerUniform Water Distribution – Sprays hot water evenly across the fill media to...

Bottle Shape vs. Square Cooling Tower comparison between Bottle Shape and Square Cooling Towers to help you choose the right type for your application: 1. Design & Structure Feature Bottle Shape Cooling Tower Square Cooling Tower Shape Cylindrical (narrow top, wider base) Rectangular/Square Footprint Compact, space-saving Larger but...

Square Cooling Tower A Square Cooling Tower is a type of mechanical draft cooling tower with a rectangular or square footprint, commonly used in industrial and commercial cooling applications. Unlike the cylindrical bottle-shaped design, square cooling towers offer a modular and space-efficient layout, making them suitable for...

Bottle Shape Cooling Tower A Bottle Shape Cooling Tower is a type of induced draft cooling tower designed in a distinctive cylindrical or “bottle-shaped” structure. It is commonly used in industrial and HVAC applications for heat dissipation. Here are its key features and characteristics: Key Features: Advantages:...

FRP Cooling Tower An FRP Cooling Tower is a cooling tower whose casing and/or structure is made of FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) instead of conventional materials like wood, concrete, or steel. Why FRP? Features of FRP Cooling Towers Applications  FRP Vs Pultruded Cooling Towers

Cross Flow Cooling Tower Vs Counter Flow Cooling Tower 1. Airflow & Water flow . Efficiency 3. Water Distribution 4. Tower Size & Shape 5. Fan Power 6. Maintenance 7. Applications Applications where higher thermal efficiency and compact footprint are required Cross flow vs Counter flow (Quick Comparison) Feature Cross flow Counter flow...

Cross flow Cooling Tower A Cross flow Cooling Tower is one where air flows horizontally across the falling water, rather than directly opposite to it. How It Works Characteristics Applications

Counter Flow Cooling Tower A Counter flow Cooling Tower is a type of mechanical draft cooling tower where the air flows upward (vertically) against the downward flow of hot water. How It Works Heat Transfer: Since air and water move in opposite directions, there’s a higher temperature difference (ΔT) between them → more efficient cooling...

Induced Draft Cooling Tower Quick Comparison Table Feature Forced Draft Induced Draft Fan Location Inlet (bottom/side) Outlet (top) Airflow Pushes air in Pulls air through Recirculation Higher risk Lower risk Cooling Efficiency Moderate Higher Energy Consumption...

Forced Draft Cooling Tower A Forced Draft Cooling Tower is a type of mechanical draft cooling tower where the fan is placed at the air inlet (bottom/side). The fan pushes (forces) air into the tower across the fill, and then the air moves upward to mix with the hot water for cooling.  Working Principle  Features […]

Induced Draft Cooling Tower An Induced Draft Cooling Tower is a mechanical draft cooling tower in which the fan is placed at the top of the tower. The fan pulls (induces) air upward through the fill and discharges it into the atmosphere at a high velocity. It is the most commonly used cooling tower type […]

Fan less Cooling Tower A fan less cooling tower is a type of cooling tower that does not use mechanical fans for air circulation. Instead, it relies on the natural air movement created by the temperature difference between hot water and ambient air. It is sometimes also called a natural draft / induced air circulation […]

Working Principle of Natural Draft Cooling Tower The natural draft cooling tower works on the principle of natural convection (chimney effect) and evaporative cooling. Step-by-Step Process:

Natural Draft Cooling Tower A natural draft cooling tower is a type of cooling tower that relies on the natural convection of air (without fans) to circulate air through the tower for cooling. Working Principle  Features Advantages

Types of Mechanical Draft Cooling Towers 1. Forced Draft Cooling Tower 2. Induced Draft Cooling Tower Based on Airflow Arrangement:

Mechanical Draft Cooling Tower A mechanical draft cooling tower is a type of cooling tower where airflow is produced by fans (mechanical means), instead of relying on natural convection like in natural draft towers. Working Principle Types of Mechanical Draft Towers  Advantages
