Temperature regulation is the most significant requirement for a variety of industrial processes. In this regard, cooling towers play a vital role in the industries for controlling heat and temperature.
What are cooling towers?
Cooling towers are the devices used as heat exchangers to transfer waste heat into the atmosphere. It works on the principle of latent heat of evaporation. The cooling tower act as a heat rejection device that removes heat from hot water to the atmosphere using cooling air.
Types of cooling towers
Cooling towers can be classified based on the usage, build airflow generation methods, heat transfer methods, and air to water flow. Here we can discuss some of the types of cooling towers.
· Bottle type cooling tower
· Square type cooling tower
· Dry cooling tower
· Crossflow cooling tower
Bottle type cooling tower
Bottle-type cooling towers are round-shaped, designed with the induced draft counter flow which is more efficient than the forced draft. It is specially designed for industrial cooling. These towers are made up of tough fiberglass and can withstand high vibrations and velocities. It can be installed anywhere irrespective of the wind direction. Bottle-type cooling towers are corrosion-free and lightweight. It is classified into 3 types
· GCT-H series cooling towers
· GCT — Quiet series cooling towers
· GCT- HH series cooling towers
Square type cooling tower
Square-type cooling towers are power-saving, low maintenance cost, compact, and work with high efficiency. It is designed to operate on counter flow induced draft principle. It can be classified into four types
· SCT H Cooling Towers
· SCT Cooling Towers
· SCT Quiet Cooling Towers
. SCT HH Cooling Towers
Dry cooling tower
Dry cooling towers are used in various industries like power plants, data center cooling, industrial cooling, and many other applications. Dry cooling towers work under the method of heat transfer, build with corrosion-resistant aluminium sheets. Adiabatic cooling towers are one of the dry cooling towers that work with low noise.
Crossflow cooling tower
Crossflow cooling towers are named because the induced air flows horizontally and water flows vertically. It is made of single cells or multiple cells.
Wrapping up
Choose a suitable cooling tower that fits your industrial needs and requirements. Gem India equipments are the best cooling tower manufacturers in India. They are manufacturing a wide range of industrial cooling towers and cooling systems.
