In circulating water systems it is advisable to establish a special industrial installations, the purpose of which is cooling water. This kind of design is called cooling tower. It has found wide application not only in industrial plants but also in nuclear and thermal power plants.
theMain types of cooling towers
Classification for industrial designs under the name of "tower" is quite diverse. If we consider the action principle, we can distinguish the structure open and closed. Open different called the "evaporation" and closed — "dry". The principle of operation of cooling towers of the open type is to spray hot water and mixing with cold air. One part of water when this evaporates, and the other is cooled. They are subdivided according to the method of supplying air to counter flow, sprinkle, and others.
in addition, cooling towers are divided into distinct types according to the type of circuit, the way of organizing thrust, the method of placement, etc.
theworking Principle and device of the cooling tower
the Work of such industrial installations based on cooling fluid through the atmospheric air. By itself, the design consists of several basic elements: frame, tanks for water harvesting, irrigation, water distribution system. In the cooling tower closed type cooling process is slightly different. Here cooling occurs through heat transfer.
Characteristics of the various types of cooling towers
Each industrial installation in its work has certain advantages and disadvantages that affect you. For example, tower a cooling tower is designed to work with large amounts of water. There is no cost for electricity. However, the disadvantages include the relatively expensive construction, difficult to repair. Cooling tower type fan is quite energy efficient and are distinguished by ease of repair. However, for maintenance it is necessary to involve specially trained staff. However, of the minuses can be noted the possibility of contamination of recycled water and application of additional measures in the winter period.
