The fluid cooler uses a mechanically induced draft, crossflow technology. And, the fill media is located above the coil. The process fluid is pumped internally…

The fluid cooler is one of the most efficient systems for industrial and HVAC applications (see Fig. 8-26). By keeping the cooling process fluid and…
Crossflow towers, as shown in Fig. 8-24, have a fill configuration through which the air flows horizontally. That means it is across the downward fall…
The atmospheric type of tower does not use a mechalnical device, such as a fan, to create air flow through the tower. There are two…
Acooling tower is a device for cooling a stream of water. Evaporating a portion of the circulating stream does this. Such cooled water may be…
The evaporative condenser is a condenser and a cooling tower combined. Figure 8-18 illustrates how the nozzles spray water over the cooling coil to cool…
Classified by the air-circulation method used, there are two types of cooling towers. They are either natural-draft or mechanical-draft towers. Figure 8-15 shows the operation…
The following terms apply to cooling-tower systems. Cooling range is the number of degrees in Fahrenheit through which the water is cooled in the tower.…
Cooling towers are used to conserve or recover water. In one design, the hot water from the condenser is pumped to the tower. There, it…
The cooling capacity of the machine is automatically adjusted to match the cooling load by changes in the position of the compressor inlet-guide vanes (see…
