What is Cooling Tower Capacity?

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...

How to Prevent Algae in Cooling Tower Systems?

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

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...

Preventing Legionnaires Disease in Cooling Towers

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...

How to Conserve Water in a Cooling Tower?(Evaporation Loss Calculation Explained)

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...

What is a Cooling Tower? How Does it Work?

A cooling tower is a large industrial equipment that cools water by removing heat through evaporation and heat transfer. Cooling towers are used in many industries like Power plants, Oil refineries, Petrochemical, Metallurgy, chemical plants and HVAC systems for building cooling. If you look down from a high-rise building, you...
