Industrial development and improved human well-being have led to significant energy consumption. Consequently, in order to remove generated heat and maintain an appropriate temperature, it is required to cool the remaining heat. Cooling requires a cooling medium. Therefore, cooling towers uses the most abundant water in nature, with the most efficient heat transfer method that is, evaporation to cool and recirculate the heated water using mechanical power. In other words, cooling towers are the ultimate heat outlet and the safest and most efficient heat exchanger.
The fundamental principle of cooling towers is heat transfer based on latent and sensible heat of vaporization.
In other words, water evaporates, drawing latent heat of vaporization from its surroundings and cooling the surroundings.
Air is cooled by sensible heat due to the temperature difference between water and air.
The tower is designed to maximize the water's air retention time, maximize the contact surface area,
and increase airflow to maximize contact between water and air, to cause high evaporation rates.
| TOWER STRUCTURE PART (Above basin) |
Cooling towers should be able to withstand dead loads and operating loads, and maintain their structural integrity even under diverse external atmospheric conditions and internal storms. | |
|---|---|---|
| FAN PART (Mechanical part) |
Cooling towers are mechanical devices that increase and stabilize thermal performance (cooling efficiency) by introducing air into the tower and controlling the air flow rate. | |
