Cooling Tower: Operation and Use

What is a Cooling Tower?

“A cooling tower is a device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a coolant stream, usually a water stream, to a lower temperature. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or, in the case of dry cooling towers, rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the dry-bulb air temperature using radiators.” (Definition source: Wikipedia)

Applications of Cooling Tower

Cooling technologies for the food industry

Cooling technologies for food industry must help preserve the quality of the finished product (and of the process liquid): this is true even more than in other industries. Closed circuit cooling towers and “hybrid towers” can make their contribution.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sector

We are talking about systems of very different sizes: as industrial fluid temperatures change the cooler must be sized accordingly. The operational continuity is fundamental, while the good life of the cooler is particularly appreciated (also thanks to non-corrodible solutions). Noise is not a problem, thanks to sound-absorbing technical solutions.

Cooling Technologies for Offices

Low noise levels to ease daily life: this is the “must” of the cooling circuits attached to the air conditioning systems in the offices. Configurations suitable for restricted or peculiar spaces are also often required: the ideal are open circuit cooling towers with sound-absorbing technologies, possibly equipped with versatile centrifugal fans.

Focus: cooling technologies for datacenters

With the increase in computing resources required, whether by massive use of the Internet or new applications of artificial intelligence, datacenters are becoming increasingly large and energy intensive. Cooling technologies must therefore reconcile performance with water and energy savings: from efficient cooling towers to structurally simple dry coolers to adiabatic dry coolers and chillers, the focus is always on the needs of the individual project.
