General Features

Design:

Evaporative (FRP) Cooling towers are of vertical induced draft counter flow design with uniform water distribution and optimal heat transfer. Towers can be installed independent of wind direction. The tower casing is made from tough fiberglass and has sufficient strength to withstand high velocities and vibrations. The water collection sump is leak proof and avoids water spillage.

The performance of cooling tower greatly depends upon the water distribution over the fills. SCSP nozzles distribute water evenly through a wide spray angle without any dry pockets. The fill is of rigid Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and is of honeycomb design with very large contact surface area.

Casing:

The tower casing is made of tough fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) and has sufficient structural strength to withstand high wind velocities and vibrations. UV - stabilized resin is used along with gel coat for longer life. It is resistant to local impacts and even if slight damage occurs, local repairs can easily be done. The portion of casing housing fill and eliminator has a round cross section. The water collection sump, also of FRP, is leak proof & avoids water spillage.

Fill:

The fill is of rigid Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and is of honeycomb design with very large contact surface area. The fill splits the air and water into several streams, increasing the time of contact and also heat transfer between water and air. The fill is in modules and is packed in the tower casing without any cutting for curves. The air pressure drop through the fill is negligible. The fills are available with flute height of 6mm, 12mm, and 19mm with sheet thickness of 1mm and 1.2mm.

Sprinkler:

Automatic rotary sprinkler system made of Nylon 66 material, with rotary head and sprinkler pipe distributes the hot water over the entire space of the filler. Sprinkler pipes are non-clogging, require low pressure to operate and assures uniform water flow with minimal operating pump head. The FRP eliminators attached to sprinkler pipe are specifically designed for low pressure drop and minimises the drift loss of water.

Drift Eliminator:

Reduces carry over losses of water. The eliminator is of rigid PVC (Applicable for square type cooling tower). The individual drift eliminators of S-shaped corrugated sheets are bonded with subsequent layers to create the structure. The entire area is thus divided into several fine S shaped mini zones each removing water droplets on the entire surface of the cell.

Axial Fan:

Specially designed energy efficient fans are of induced-draft axial type with adjustable pitch. Material chosen are non corrosive of plastic, FRP or aluminium alloy. The high efficiency design ensures low running cost and the lowest possible noise level. Fan blade pitch is factory set and dynamically balanced.

Motors:

The motors are totally enclosed (IP55), flange type, 415 V, 3 ph, 50 Hz, induction weather proof with SS304 extended shaft and are specially designed for cooling tower application.

Corrosion Free:

The tower casing is of FRP, fill and eliminator are of PVC, and SS304 fasteners are used, thus eliminating corrosion, the biggest enemy of cooling tower. All steel components such as motor support, water distribution pipes, hardware etc., are hot dip or spray galvanized.

Lightweight:

The towers are compact and light weight resulting in easy delivery to site and installation. Light weight also saves on structural and masonry. Roof installation can also be done without any special reinforcements.

Installation, Service Maintenance:

Towers of lower capacity are completely factory assembled before despatch. At site the tower has just to be bolted, on the RCC / brick masonry foundation, thus saving a lot of installation time. Towers of higher capacity can easily be assembled at site and then installed in a manner similar to small towers. Maintenance is considerably reduced because fan, sprinkler fill and eliminator can easily be approached from the top without disturbing the cooling tower casing.

A compressed air dryers is a device designed to remove moisture from compressed air. This compressed air dryers is essential in various industrial applications to ensure the efficiency and longevity of equipment.The compressed air dryers works by reducing the dew point of the air, preventing condensation and corrosion in the system. The design of a compressed air dryers varies depending on the type of compressed air dryers. Common types include refrigerated compressed air dryers, desiccant compressed air dryers, and membrane compressed air dryers. Each compressed air dryers type has its unique structure and method for removing moisture from the air. For instance, a refrigerated dryers cools the air to condense water vapor, while a desiccant compressed air dryers uses absorbent materials to remove moisture. The working principle of a compressed air dryers involves several stages to ensure efficient moisture removal. Initially, the air enters the the compressed air dryers and passes through a pre-filter to remove large particles. This pre-filter stage is crucial for protecting the compressed air dryers from potential damage caused by contaminants. The air then moves into the main drying chamber, where the compressed air dryers removes moisture through different mechanisms depending on the type of compressed air dryers. In a refrigerated compressed air dryers, the air is cooled to condense water vapor. The cooling process in the refrigerated compressed air dryers lowers the air temperature, causing the moisture to condense into liquid form. This condensed water is then drained out of the compressed air dryers, leaving the air dry. The dried air is then reheated to prevent condensation in the downstream piping. In a desiccant compressed air dryers, the air passes through desiccant material that absorbs moisture. The desiccant dryers uses materials such as silica gel or activated alumina to attract and hold water molecules. As the air flows through the desiccant compressed air dryers, the moisture is absorbed by the desiccant material, resulting in dry air. The desiccant compressed air dryers typically has a regeneration cycle to remove the absorbed moisture from the desiccant, ensuring continuous operation.In a membrane compressed air dryers, the air passes through a semi-permeable membrane that allows water vapor to pass through while retaining the dry air. The membrane dryers separates moisture from the air based on the difference in partial pressure across the membrane. This process in the membrane compressed air dryers ensures that only dry air reaches the end-use application. Applications: Compressed air dryers are used in various industries, including manufacturing, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. These dryers are crucial in applications where moisture-free air is essential for product quality and process efficiency. For example, in the food industry, a dryers ensures that air used in packaging is dry, preventing contamination. In the pharmaceutical industry, a dryers is used to maintain the integrity of sensitive products.

Heatless compressed air Dryers: This compressed air dryers uses a desiccant material that is regenerated without heat.5. Heated compressed air Dryers: This compressed air dryers uses heat to regenerate the desiccant material. A cooling tower is a crucial component in industrial production, designed to reduce heat from the plant and enhance production efficiency. Cooling towers vary in size, from small units to extremely large structures, and are used to cool industrial hot water. A cooling tower extracts heat from a building and releases it into the atmosphere, returning cooler water to the system. Industrial pipes transport the heated water to the cooling tower, where it is cooled and referred to as condenser water due to its role in absorbing heat from the chiller’s cooling coil. India’s rapid industrialization and production growth necessitate the construction of more factories, each requiring efficient cooling towers. Towertech stands out as a leading provider of cooling towers, known for their high-quality and reliable products. The interior features of cooling towers differ based on the cooling demands of a structure, with the size of the structure determining the cooling capacity required. WHAT IS A COOLING TOWER? A cooling tower removes heat generated during industrial processes by transferring it to the atmosphere using water. Most cooling towers operate by evaporating a small amount of water, which helps to cool the remaining water. A cooling tower is essentially a heat exchanger that brings air and water into close contact to reduce the water’s temperature. As a small quantity of water evaporates, the temperature of the remaining water decreases. Water plays a vital role in cooling towers, facilitating heat transfer from one place to another. Industries such as additive manufacturing, tool and die-cutting, chemicals, lasers, milling machines, and semiconductors all rely on cooling towers to keep equipment and products cool. HOW DOES A COOLING TOWER WORK? A cooling tower operates on the principle of heat exchange, utilizing thermodynamics to transfer heat from hot water to cooler water. During industrial manufacturing processes, significant amounts of heat are generated, necessitating cooling before the water can be reused. In a cooling tower, hot water from the industry is transported through pipes to the top of the tower, where it is sprayed through nozzles. As the hot water descends through the tower, it comes into contact with the air, cooling down in the process. The cooled water collects in a basin at the bottom of the tower and is then recirculated back to the industry for reuse. When water from the heated reservoir is pumped into the cooling tower, it is sprayed into tiny droplets, increasing the surface area and enhancing heat transfer through evaporation12. TYPES OF COOLING TOWERS Cooling towers are tailored to meet the specific requirements of different industries. Towertech offers a variety of cooling towers, each designed for optimal cooling efficiency.
