According to HSE guidelines the construction of cooling towers should be planned and built in a strategic manner to avoid health risks of workers. During the 1950’s asbestos was a widely used fire retardant insulator that was fabricated for use in power stations, factories, steelworks and of course the residential built environment for piping and [...]
One of the most common portable cooling towers that you might be able to relate unto is your average air conditioning unit system. It might not be able to cool down an entire plant or factory but there are some cooling towers that are basically for such huge structures. Air conditioning is commonly referred to [...]
If you’re running a huge industrial plant or factory and you’re confident enough that it’s running smoothly in best conditions, you might as well not be over confident. You’ll never know when certain circumstantial factors would easily come to play. So the best thing for you to do is be prepared when such situation may [...]
Cooling tower is a very important unit operation in the processing industries. It is imperative to minimize the cost of running the operation of the cooling tower. The purpose of a cooling tower or condenser system is to reuse and reduce water usage. Determining the conductivity set point of the system is important to maximum [...]
If you are shopping for oscillating tower fans for your home or office then there are several choices that you have to make and by following our simple guide you should be able to find the most suitable one. It is not a super complex set of options, but there are quite a number of [...]
It is good to have a software to help us analyze about the cooling tower in our plant. To do that, let me introduce Cooling Tower Analysis is a powerful, user friendly, program for the analysis of induced, mechanical-draft, counterflow cooling towers. The program can be used for the analysis of existing towers or for [...]
The following illustration explains the process of induced draft counterflow tower and induced draft counterflow tower with fill. Check out the direction of air coming inside the heat exchanger (indicated by green arrows) and the hot air exiting the cooling tower (indicated by red arrows). These are followed with the illustrations of induced draft, double-flow [...]
Herman Nelson AC Unit parts are devices used in controlling and maintaining temperatures and humidity at preferred levels through the distribution of dry, cold or hot air into an indoor environment. Nelson AC Unit parts regulate air by pumping cool air indoors thus replacing hot air, which is then forced into the ductwork and out [...]
What exactly are cooling towers anyway? They are heat rejection devices used to extract waste heat into the air from the cooling of a water stream to a lesser temperature. They are also referred to evaporate heat rejection devices. These devices provide lower water temperatures than an air cooled or heat rejection devices. Cooling towers [...]
This is how a cooling tower closed circuit looked like. See the cold water indicated by the blue arrows. The cool water is being pumped up to by a centrifugal pump. At the top of the cooling tower, the cool water is sprayed down. Hot air / hot vapour indicated by red arrows escape above [...]
