Cross Flow Cooling Tower

“We specialize in offering a wide range of Pultruded Fiber Glass Cross-flow Cooling Towers to our customers. These towers belong to the family of mechanical drift cooling towers, where the upward flow of air cools down the hot water raining down from the top hot water basin onto the bottom cold water basin.

To facilitate this process, a fan is installed on the roof of the tower. It induces airflow through the louvers and fills, which intercepts the hot water raindrops perpendicularly. The drift then leaves the tower at the top. The cross-flow cooling tower can operate with flow levels as low as 30% of its design capacity. Since gravity is the only mechanism pulling down the water through the nozzles, these towers ensure even water distribution across the fill.

As depicted in the diagram below, water flows down the fills vertically due to gravity, while air contacts it horizontally, giving rise to its name “cross flow”. This design eliminates the need for air to pass through the water distribution system, making gravity the sole mechanism responsible for water cascading down the cooling tower.”
