Cross Flow Cooling Towers:

Cross flow cooling towers system is a design in which the air flow is directed perpendicular to the water flow. Air flow enters one or more vertical faces of the Cross flow cooling towers to meet the fill material. In this case the air that passes the water is not capable to pass waters at different temperatures. Thus the level of Cross flow cooling tower in this case is less. this Cooling tower is a pioneering product in Design & manufacture of FRP Cooling towers in South India. No sprinkler distribution is possible in a Cross flow Cooling Towers. This Cooling Towers have to be large sized because of the cavity which is to be left between the fan and the fills.

Process:

The Cross flow cooling tower design incorporates a FRP distribution basin with number of flower type target nozzles in it and is located at the tower top. The water, by gravity, is dispersed over the fill media uniformly and water is allowed to pass vertically down along the honey comb fills. The fan coupled directly to the motor is placed horizontally to draw air across the fill media. A small portion of water is evaporated which removes the heat from the remaining water. In warm moist air is drawn to the horizontally placed fan / motor and is discharged through the fan deck, to the atmosphere. The resultant cold water is collected at the cooling tower collection sump from where it is re-circulated to the application.
