Cooling towers can be of various types according to different classification criteria, and here are four common types of cooling towers:
Naturally vented cooling towers
These cooling towers do not need to be driven by fans and dissipate water through natural wind. Its structure is simple, no noise, no power consumption, but the heat dissipation efficiency is low, suitable for small heat dissipation occasions.
Forced Draft Cooling Tower
This type of cooling tower is driven by a fan for forced ventilation to improve heat dissipation efficiency. It is suitable for large heat dissipation applications, but has high noise and energy consumption.
Wet cooling towers:
Wet cooling towers dissipate heat through the evaporation of water. It has the advantages of high heat dissipation efficiency, low noise, and will not pollute the environment, but it needs to consume a lot of water resources.
Dry cooling towers:
Dry cooling towers dissipate water through air. It does not consume water and does not pollute the environment, but the heat dissipation efficiency is relatively low, and it is usually suitable for small heat dissipation occasions.
In addition, there are many other classification methods of cooling towers, such as counter-flow, cross-flow and mixed-flow cooling towers according to the flow mode of air and hot water, low-temperature towers, medium-temperature towers and high-temperature towers according to the size of cooling water temperature, and low-noise towers and ultra-low-noise towers according to noise levels.
Each of these different types of cooling towers has its own characteristics and applications, and needs to be selected based on specific heat dissipation needs, environmental conditions, energy consumption requirements and other factors.
