Overview

What is an RCC cooling tower?

An RCC cooling tower is an industrial cooling tower whose structure, louvers and cold water basin are built in reinforced cement concrete. Hot process water is distributed over the fill while fans draw air through it, cooling the water by evaporation. The concrete structure makes RCC cooling towers sturdy and long-lasting in harsh industrial environments.

Cooltech Engineers offers RCC cooling towers in 92 models in induced draft counterflow and crossflow designs, as single cells or multi-cell banks.

Range

Types of RCC cooling towers we design

Each RCC cooling tower is designed around your duty conditions and site.

Counterflow

Induced draft counterflow RCC cooling tower

Air rises against the falling water for high thermal performance in a compact plan area.

Crossflow

Induced draft crossflow RCC cooling tower

Air flows across the falling water with gravity distribution, making inspection and cleaning easy.

Multi-cell

Multi-cell RCC cooling tower

Several cells side by side give operating flexibility and meet increased cooling requirements.

Advantages

Advantages of RCC cooling towers

Why plants choose concrete for long-life cooling.

▣

Sturdy & durable

Reinforced concrete gives a robust structure with a long service life.

♨

Handles tough duty

Suited to high temperatures and corrosive industrial environments.

≋

Wind & seismic resistant

A heavy concrete structure resists wind loads and seismic activity.

⌂

Built locally

Civil work is done on site by your contractor from our drawings, reducing freight.

⚙

Low upkeep

Routine inspection and cleaning of fill, drift eliminators and distribution keep it running.

▦

Scales with your plant

Multi-cell layouts add capacity and operating flexibility.

FAQ

RCC cooling tower FAQs

What are the benefits of RCC cooling towers?

RCC cooling towers are durable with a long lifespan, handle high temperatures and corrosive environments, and resist wind and seismic activity, making them a reliable choice for many industrial applications.

Who builds the civil structure of an RCC cooling tower?

Cooltech submits detailed civil drawings, and your local civil contractor builds the concrete structure under our guidance. We design the tower and supply the mechanical and internal components.

Counterflow or crossflow – which RCC cooling tower should I choose?

Counterflow towers move air upward against the falling water and usually need less plan area for the same duty. Crossflow towers move air across the water, use gravity distribution and are easier to inspect and clean. Our engineers recommend the right design after reviewing your flow rate, temperatures and site.

What information do you need for an RCC cooling tower quotation?

Send the water flow rate (m³/hr), hot water inlet and required cold water outlet temperatures, site wet-bulb temperature, available space and application. With these we can select the model and quote quickly.

How do you maintain an RCC cooling tower?
  • Inspect the structure regularly for signs of corrosion or damage.
  • Clean the fill and drift eliminators.
  • Check that the water distribution system works properly.
  • Maintain fans, gearboxes and motors.
Do you supply RCC cooling towers outside India?

Yes. Cooltech supplies cooling towers across India and exports to the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa.
