What is a Crossflow Cooling Tower? Crossflow cooling towers are specialized systems designed to reduce water temperature in industrial plants and HVAC setups. In this design, hot water spreads across the top of the tower. It flows down through fill material, making thin layers or droplets of water. At the...
Cooling towers are commonly used in businesses as they effectively remove a lot of heat. This helps keep cool temperatures inside and outside a building. However, not all cooling towers are the same, and selecting the right one requires considering several important factors. Among those, the cooling tower’s capacity is...
Algae often form in cooling towers whenever sunlight reaches exposed water surfaces. These openings also allow algae spores carried by wind, rain, or contaminated equipment to enter the system. Once inside, the spores multiply rapidly and create dense algae growth. This not only reduces your cooling efficiency but can also...
Natural draft cooling towers are engineering structures known for their energy efficiency and operational reliability in industrial facilities with heat loads around 450 MW. These towers are especially significant in sectors like power generation, petrochemicals, and large-scale manufacturing, where continuous and cost-effective cooling solutions are paramount. This blog looks at...
What Is Legionnaires’ Disease? Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia caused by inhaling tiny water droplets that carry Legionella bacteria. These bacteria love warm, still water making cooling towers a common hotspot if not properly maintained. When the water inside a cooling tower isn’t treated or circulated correctly, it...
Introduction Cooling towers are essential to industrial processes but are also one of the largest consumers of water in commercial operations. A major portion of this consumption is due to evaporation loss, which is an unavoidable part of the cooling process. However, with proper strategies, water usage can be optimized...
