COOLING TOWERS
   
 

FCT Range
14 models from 5 to 82 l/s
Principle of operation
Water from the heat source is distributed over the wet deck surface through gravity flow diffuser nozzles. Air is simultaneously blown across the wet deck surface, causing a small portion of the water to evaporate. This evaporation removes the heat from the remaining water. The cooled water falls into the tower sump where it is returned to the heat source.
