There are many industries that utilize cooling towers, including evaporative cooling towers. These cooling towers are designed to transfer heat back into the atmosphere. Earlier types of these towers were usually placed on the roofs of buildings or were free standing structures. Their air supply came from fans or through the natural airflow. At the beginning of the 20th century, evaporative cooling towers were in use in situations that did not have a satisfactory water supply.
The primary use of large, industrial cooling towers, including those evaporative cooling towers is to remove the heat absorbed in the cooling water system. These types of cooling towers are generally used in power plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural gas processing plants, semi conductor plants, food processing plants, and other such industrial facilities.
Evaporative cooling towers and other cooling facilities can vary in size from those that fit on roof tops to very large hyperboloid structures. These large structures can measure up to 200 meters tall and 100 meters in diameter. There are also rectangular structures that can be more than 40 meters tall and 80 meters long.
While most evaporative cooling towers are used in larger industries as mentioned previously, many smaller businesses can also use these cooling tower systems. One of the most common uses of these towers is in HVAC systems to provide safe, efficient methods to keep building temperatures comfortable.
If you are interested in installing evaporative cooling towers, water cooling towers or other such industrial cooling towers, you should contact a manufacturer of these towers. Professional technicians will come to your site to do an inspection and site visit of your facilities. This will help them determine the type of water cooling towers that will work best for your company.
These professionals will discuss the specifics of your industry and can help you determine whether an evaporative cooling tower, a closed circuit cooling tower or some other system will be beneficial to your environment. Of course, the cost of these towers will be discussed during the consultation. You will also be provided information about the maintenance routine for these towers, as well as any warranty and service information for evaporative cooling towers.
