RCC Cooling Towers

Tipo Heat Exchangers offers a wide range of concrete rcc cooling towers designed for any application. The RCC Cooling towers Structure of the cooling towers can either be built by us or by the clients own contractors. A permanent structure, low maintenance cooling tower can be built at a surprising low premium over a timber tower.

Salient Features of RCC Cooling Towers : –

1.  Both counter-flow and cross-flow patterns are available to suit customer needs.
2.  Splash and Film fills in various materials of construction are available.
3.  The concrete structure is optimized by in house structural engineers to minimize civil costs.
4.  In house detail engineering ensures quick release of construction drawings and simplified construction methodology.
5.  Civil construction can be carried out by our own experienced, construction group.
6.  RCC – Structure Frame work is done normally in M30 grade of RCC as per IS standards.

Types of RCC Cooling Towers : –

1. RCC Cooling Tower with Multi cell
2. RCC Cross Flow Cooling Tower
3. RCC Tower with Fill
4. RCC Counter Flow Cooling Tower
5. RCC Tower with V Bar.

SALIENT FEATURES OF RCC COOLING TOWERS : –

RCC Induced Draft Counter-flow Cooling Tower: In a counter-flow cooling tower the air moves vertically upwards through the fill while waterfalls vertically downwards. Film type fill is used and is suitable for all cooling load applications, however, it is more suitable for the application where cold water temperature is critical and water quality is good. These cooling towers are made of RCC construction. Film type fill is made of PVC for normal water applications. These cooling towers are fitted with the fills of wider flute so that it can withstand most of the industrial water. The film type fill should be avoided for the applications where water has traces of oil and contaminated water. In the case of contaminated water PVC “V” bars and grid can be used. Cooling towers are fitted with high efficiency mechanicals such as axial flow fans, gear boxes and drive shafts.

RCC COOLING TOWERS MAINTENENACE AND SPARES : –

1.  RCC structure is designed to give maximum efficiency while retaining structural stability.
2.  The distribution system is with the latest design of nozzles to ensure a proper distribution of water.
3.  The fill media is of Virgin PVC fills, with double edge folding at the edges. These results in a very long life of fill media.
4.  Choice of aerodynamic PVC – “S” type or “C” type Drift Eliminators.
5.  Aerodynamic FRP fan to save recurring power cost.
6.  Long lasting – FRP Fan Casing.
7.  Easy to clean and maintain.
8.  Highly reduced cost of maintenance
