1. CT’S are used to supply a constant
amount of “cooling water” that is needed in
every kind of processes (machines/
equipments) to prevent such machines/
equipments from “overheating” resulting
into “mechanical failure”** further leading
to…

CT’s are termed as “EVAPORATIVE HEAT
TRANSFER DEVICE” as certain portions of water**
evaporates along with the cooling atmospheric air…
DUE TO:
Due to their
unreliability, they are not
generally recommended
into processes requiring
accurate and dependable
cold water temperatures
and as such has become
rarely used...
1A1. HYPERBOLIC NATURAL TYPE
COOLING TOWER
Have a fill
configuration through
which the air flows
horizontally across the
downward fall of
water...
The system of
fills are actually located
at one side/ at both
sides with the center
most portion virtually a
CROSS-SECTION OF A CROSS-FLOW INDUCED
voided space serving as MECHANICAL DRAFT TYPE OF COOLING TOWER:
the exit point of the
warm moist air...
Ambient air at two inlets Ambient air at a single inlet
across two fills... across a single fill...
Are constructed in
a way wherein the fans
are clustered as close as
possible around the
center point of the tower
and uses the space
where it is to be erected
in a much efficient
manner as compared to
the rectilinear type of
draft towers...
