Package Type Cooling Towers Brochure

A wet cooling tower is a heat rejection device that extracts heat from the moving water stream to the atmosphere thereby reducing the water temperature significantly. The type of heat rejection in a cooling tower is termed "evaporative" in that it allows a small portion of the water being cooled to evaporate into a moving air stream to provide significant cooling to the rest of that water stream. If we think about something hot being cooled down by pouring water onto it, a wet surface cools down much faster than a dry one. Similarly, evaporative heat rejection devices such as cooling towers are much more effective than their dry counterparts. Common applications for cooling towers are providing cooled water for industrial processes, air-conditioning and electric power generation.
