Cooling towers are used in many applications including commercial, industrial, and HVAC systems. The primary task of any cooling tower system is to remove the excess heat from the processing equipment in the industrial processes. Various types of cooling towers are used in industrial applications depending on the usage and requirement. Three main types of cooling towers are crossflow, counterflow, and hyperbolic based on the airflow passing through them.
Let us discuss the applications of cooling towers.
Bottle-type cooling tower/ Round shaped cooling tower
It has diverse salient features. It is lightweight and easy to deliver. Made of FRP which makes it corrosion free and has a low maintenance cost. They are used in aerospace, automotive, power supply, and food processing units.
In bottle-type cooling towers, series cooling towers offer power saving and have low noise compared to other cooling towers. All bottle-type cooling towers are made of ABS fills.
Square-type cooling tower
Square-type cooling towers have high efficiency, low maintenance cost, and compact design. It has energy saving design, easy to access inspection and installation. It has low noise of up to 74dba.
Square-type cooling towers are used in aluminum die-casting industries, distilleries, and breweries plants. Also in plastic injection moldings machinery, PVC pipes manufacturing plant, and soap/cosmetic manufacturing.
Dry cooling tower
The dry cooling tower operates in different performance ranges. They have different noise levels and are made up of corrosion-resistant aluminium sheets. Dry cooling towers are typically used for the solar industry, factory cooling, power plant, and plastic industry.
One drawback of a dry cooling tower is it needs regular maintenance. Another type of dry cooling tower is the adiabatic cooling tower which gives low noise.
Cross-flow cooling tower
Cross-flow cooling towers can be selected based on specific industry usage. It is important to provide periodic maintenance. It operates quietly, with low maintenance and energy costs. Used in applications like liquid air conditioning systems, pharmaceutical industries, boilers, hot dip galvanizing, hydraulic press, and furnace applications.
