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

Types of Water Loss in a Cooling Tower E≈0.001×C×ΔTE \approx 0.001 \times C \times \Delta TE≈0.001×C×ΔT where: B=E(CoC−1)B = \frac{E}{(CoC – 1)}B=(CoC−1)E​ Total Water Loss Total Loss=E+D+B+(Misc. Losses)\text{Total Loss} = E + D + B + \text{(Misc.
