I ntroduction.
• It is a device that rejects waste heat to the
atmosphere
C P P • It is used in industries such as power plants, chemical
plants, and manufacturing Companies
• It can also be used in large commercial buildings,
airpots, Hospitals etc
I
P arts of Cooling Tower.
• Drift Eliminator
P
• Fill Media
O C
• Fan
• Hot water pipe
• Cold water tank
Drift Eliminator
• It is designed to capture
large water Droplets in the
cooling tower stream
• It prevents the water
droplets and mist from
escaping the cooling
tower
Fill Media
• It slows the water flow down
and exposes the maximum
amount of water for best air
contact
Fan
• It is used to force or push large amounts of air
throughout the cooling tower
• It must be built to withstand the corrosive
effects
Hot water pipe
• The hot water coming
from air conditioning
condensers or other
industrial processes is
sprayed on fill media by
nozzles.
Cold water tank
• The cooled water is
distributed as utility
from this tank and is
maintained at a certain
level

1. Material Selection: Choose appropriate materials for
C the tower’s structure, including options like fiberglass,
O
concrete, wood, or metal
2. Thermal Performance: Design the tower’s heat
exchange surfaces, fill media, and air distribution
system to achieve the desired cooling capacity and
efficiency.
