Wooden Cooling Tower
Wooden Cooling Tower design incorporates a RCC basin with number of flower type target nozzles in it and is located at the tower top. The water, by gravity, is dispersed over the fill/splash media uniformly and water is allowed to pass vertically down along wooden Splash bar. The fan coupled directly to the motor is placed horizontally to draw air across the fill media. A small portion of water is evaporated which removes the heat from the remaining water. In warm moist air is drawn to the horizontally placed fan / motor and is discharged through the fan deck, to the atmosphere. The resultant cold water is collected at the cooling tower collection sump from where it is re-circulated to the application.
The indigenous innovative was adopted by the industry for very good reason. Due to ever increasing demands for Power Generating Station and the Chemical Process Industries. The relevant Counter flow tower with wood splash bar stats become increasingly large, cumbersome and more efficient. The configuration of Cooling Tower consist of chemically Treated Timber to resist the contaminated water from the process industries. It is money saving and energy conservation strategy to over size your Cooling Tower for cold water.
