Cooling Towers
Cooling Towers are commonly used to provide lower than ambient water temperatures and are more cost effective and energy
efficient than most other alternatives. The smallest cooling towers are structured for only a few gallons of water per minute
while the largest cooling towers may handle upwards of thousands of gallons per minute. The pipes are obviously much
larger to accommodate this much water in the larger towers and can range up to 12 inches in diameter.
Closed loop (or closed circuit) cooling tower systems, also called indirect cooling tower systems, do not allow the water to
come into contact with any outside substance, therefore keeping the water more pure due to the lack of foreign particles
introduced. Contact Cooling Technology and one of our technical engineers will help you design one to meet your custom
needs.
Another classification of cooling towers is made between field assembled towers and factory assembled towers. Field
assembled towers are shipped in pieces and assembled on site by a highly qualified and certified installation team. Factory
assembled towers typically only require the fan motor to be mounted. Please contact your Cooling Technology Sales
Representative for more information on installation opportunities.
Cooling Tower Hot Water Distribution System: An open basin above each fill bank receives the hot water that is piped to each
cell in the tower.
Cooling Tower Hot Water Basin: This basin receives the hot water that is piped into each cell in the tower and has removable
covers to restrict the influx of debris. Water enters through a removable wave suppressor splash box.
Cooling Tower Fill, Louvers, and Drift Eliminators: Each fill sheet has louvers and drift eliminators formed by thermoformed
PVC. The fills are suspended by hot dip galvanized structural tubing and are elevated above the floor of the cold water basin.
Cooling Tower Cold Water Basin: In a cooling tower, water is supplied from the discharge of the circulating water system to a
distribution basin, from which the cooling tower pump takes suction. Accessories include both a side suction connection OR a
hole and bolt circle in the basin floor suitable for gravity flow, which have debris screens and anti-cavitation devices.
Cooling Tower Pump: Pumps of a variety of sizes may be used, depending upon the size of cooling tower and the demands
of your process. The technical engineers at Cooling Technology, Inc understand that each project is unique and will work
diligently to make sure your site’s requirements will be matched to the best cooling tower and pump.
