Applications for cooling towers – open circuit operation
The side-stream cooling tower is used where large amounts of water are required for refrigeration machines (as with the vapour tower), but where the installation conditions, for space reasons, only allow a lateral connection of the air duct system. In the industry, the cooling water for cooling air compressors, diesel motors and generators, as well as for cooling rolling stock, lubricating oils and cooling emulsions, can be re-cooled by
means of a cooling tower and reused, e.g. in the semi-finished metal products industry, plastics industry, etc..
Requirements
- no high demands on the quality of the cooling water
- initial costs more important than maintenance costs
- low cooling water temperatures (approx. 5K above wet-bulb temperature)
- horizontal exhaust
Areas of use
- mezzanines
- cellars
- low rooms
- in the open
Your benefit
- uncomplicated system
- small dimensions/ space-saving design
- low noise level
- low weight
- low consumption of electricity
- very favourable initial costs
- simple installation
- extensive range of accessories
- exhaust integrated in unit
- no fouling through debris from above
