Different Characteristics And Designs Of Cooling Towers

How counter flow closed circuit design is different from others?

5Manufacturing units are making efficient designs of cooling towers for industrial clients. These devices are available at their stores and are being sold at decent prices by the company. Among all the types of cooling towers, counter flow closed circuit water cooling tower has a unique design and built. In this story, we will talk about all the cooling towers that manufacturers and suppliers are selling across the globe. We will also explain major characteristics of each design and differentiate the cooling towers on these characteristics.

We will discuss these cooling towers:

  1. Natural draft spray tower
  2. Natural draft hyper-bolic tower
  3. Forced draft tower
  4. Counter flow induced draft tower
  5. Crossflow induced draft tower

Characteristics of Natural draft spray tower

  • Induction forces decides the air movement
  • Movement of fluid is crossflow or parallel
  • There is no recirculation of air
  • You don’t need to maintain this tower as there are no moving parts
  • Its performance depends on prevailing wind velocity and direction
  • It is hardly used in HVAC&R systems

Characteristics of natural draft hyper-bolic tower

  • The stack effect raises with height
  • Low maintenance costs
  • These towers offer better and more consistent performance
  • Capital cost is high due to its large size
  • This cooling tower is unsuitable for high dry bulb applications
  • Most of the power generation companies use this tower for large industrial applications.

Characteristics of Crossflow induced draft tower

  • The height of the tower is lower and plan area is larger.
  • Higher risk of recirculation due to reduced height
  • It has less tolerant of obstructions to airflow
  • It has better access for maintenance
  • Due to higher water loading, fouling potential gets reduced
  • These towers are usually used in HVAC&R applications

Characteristic of counterflow closed circuit water cooling tower

  • It can be tough to access the tower for maintenance
  • Coldest water approaches the driest air for maximum performance
  • Flexible air inlet location
  • It is an ideal product to sub zero operation
  • It is used in HVAC&R applications
  • It is a good option with small packaged towers that are using centrifugal fans.

Manufacturers and suppliers are already making good share of profits by selling their products range across the globe. You can find your suitable partner and book your desired cooling tower today.
