What are the main components of an open or closed tower?

Based on the partially different operating principle, there are some common components and others peculiar to the two types of evaporative cooling systems. Components common to open and closed cooling towers:

• tower body,
• water collection basin,
• one or more fans,
• droplet separator pack (to prevent entrainment of water droplets),
• pumping system,
• electrical control system (optional).

Given the different heat exchange system, the component assigned to this function is naturally peculiar to the two systems: heat exchange pack (in the case of the open circuit cooling tower) and heat exchange coils (for the closed circuit cooling tower, as well as the evaporative condenser). Both common and peculiar components require periodic maintenance, therefore, designs that allow easy access to the internal parts of the machine are always preferable: deadlines are precise and can be specified by the manufacturer or cooling consultant.
