General Types of Cooling Tower Illustrations

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 crossflow [...]

Herman Nelson AC Unit Part

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 Are Cooling Towers?

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 are [...]

Cooling tower closed circuit

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 [...]

This huge cooling tower is being cooled down by cooler water from Harris Lake. Check out the unit operations used for the process which include transformer, pump, fill (infill), draft eliminator, warm water distribution and a cold water basin.

What’s the Purpose of Cooling Water Filtration

Water is not only important for life but also plays a very vital role in the industrial and manufacturing sector.
But if the quality of water is not up to the required standard than ultimately it will affects the quality of an end product because water is used extensively in cleaning and cooling activities.
This can be [...]

Energy Savings In Manufacturing Industry

Energy plays a very important role in industry, Industries could be classified into heavy energy consumer, medium energy consumer and low energy consumer. Organization have started doing energy audits in their plants, offices etc. Such studies has highlighted waste of energy and requirement of energy efficient technology.
Some areas for energy cost reductions.
OFFICE:
Large Corporations or factories [...]

Energy Efficiency Audit

Energy efficiency means utilizing less amount of energy to supply the equivalent degree of energy service.
Energy efficiency audits are generally done in plants. It might be carried out in a household as well, but these are generally done by individuals, whereas plants or factories tend to be more concerned as these energy expenditures eat into [...]

Types of Evaporative Air Coolers

Evaporative air coolers include a system of cooling in which the evaporation of a liquid, typically into the surrounding air, cools the object or a liquid in contact with it. There are number of evaporative designs that people can purchase.
* Direct Evaporative Coolers – this open circuit is used to lower the temperature of air [...]

Water Treatment by Using Ozone

No water is ever pure. It is a little bit of a fairy tale when you think that water can be. Water is a universal solvent. When water is given to the environment, it becomes immediately contaminated with many different organic and inorganic substances.
Not every one of the contaminants is bad for you. Some of [...]
