Product Description
A 600TR round, induced-draft, counter-flow cooling tower is a cylindrical, mechanically ventilated cooling tower designed to cool water by evaporating a portion of it, with air flowing upwards in the opposite direction of the water flow.
Here's a more detailed description:
Key Features:
- Capacity: 600 Tons of Refrigeration (TR).
- Shape: Round (cylindrical).
- Draft Type: Induced Draft, meaning a fan at the top of the tower pulls air through the tower.
- Flow Type: Counter-flow, where water flows downwards and air flows upwards, maximizing heat transfer.
- Material: Often made from Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) for corrosion resistance and lightweight construction.
- Mechanism:
- Hot water from a chiller or other heat source is sprayed over the fill media at the top of the tower.
- Air is drawn into the base of the tower by a fan and flows upwards through the fill.
- As the water flows down, some of it evaporates, which cools the remaining water.
- The warm, moist air is then drawn out by the fan and discharged to the atmosphere.
- The cooled water is then returned to the chiller for reuse.
- Applications: Used in industrial applications, power plants, and other facilities requiring large-scale cooling.
- Benefits:
- Efficient heat transfer due to counter-flow design.
- Compact design.
- Low energy consumption.
