COOLING TOWERS.

A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger, where air and water are brought in direct contact with each other to reduce the water temperature.Heated water during an industrial process is pumped into the cooling tower through the pipes; then, the liquid is sprayed through the nozzles onto banks of material called “fill”, which slows the water flow entering the cooling tower and exposes as much water surface as possible to achieve maximum air-water contact. As the water enters the cooling tower, it is exposed to air being pulled by the fan.
A small portion of water is evaporated once there is contact between water and air, creating a cooling action; the resulting cooled water is then pumped back to the condenser or process equipment where it absorbs heat and will then be pumped back to the cooling tower to be cooled down once again.
