Cooling tower, Hvac, Chiller and grp cooling tower | COOLİNG TOWER GRP

Cooling towers are divided as counter flow and cross flow towers according to operating principles. In counter flow cooling towers, the water flows top-down while the air moves from down-top. In cross flow cooling towers, while the water fall top-down, air current is horizontal. In recent years, forced draft counter flow towers has being preferred.

In counter flow induced draft type Cooling towers , heated water, coming from facility, is homogenously sprayed to all section of tower in top-down with the help of specially manufactured waterworks system and fountains. Sprayed water mass falls into pieces by floating in tower fills. Air, having the humidity of exterior environment, is absorbed from down to top on fills with the help of motor fan group. Water, meeting the air on the inlay cooling surface, heats input to the air and a part of it cools by vapouring. Cool water is sent to facility by gathering in tower cold water basin. Air, whose humidity rises (close to saturation point) as result of vapouring, is thrown to atmosphere from the fan deck at the top of tower. According to thermodynamic facts; for achieving each gram water’s phase change, nearly 540 cal/energy is absorbed from the system. With this approach; for each 6 ºC cooling of water, circulating in the system, nearly %0,9 of water flow rate must vapour. This amount can be calculated with formula above: Vapouring Amount(m³/h) = 0.00085 x 1.8 x Flow (m³/h) x (Tin—Tout)

Wet Natural Draft Cooling Towers are used in large power plants and industrial facilities. Large capacity of cooling are needed in this type facilities. Wet natural draft cooling towers are preferred to be economical and to provide this large capacity. Because of chimney effect, the air travel from down to up with intended velocity (1-3 m/s) in cooling towers. Like in the conventional cooling towers water distribution, filling and eliminator system constitute of the inner part of this type of cooling tower as well. This type of cooling towers have not fan-motor group thus there is no energy usage for cooling. Because of energy saving the return of the high initial cost taken in a short time.

Dry Natural Draft Cooling Towers are preferred in regions where have limited water supply. Big part of heat transfer is performed by evaporation in classical natural draft cooling towers. With evaporation, large amount of water discharge in vapor phase to atmosphere. Water that evaporates should be supplemented to the system. To solve this problem dry natural draft cooling towers are used. Vapor is condensed in a heat exchanger which is placed in cooling tower with a natural flow of air moving from bottom to top. The condensed water is sent to boiler.
