Reinforced Concrete/Cement Counterflow Cooling Tower
Counterflow Cooling Towers
Counter-flow cooling towers perform more effectively than cross-flow cooling towers when we compare regarding the performance. The contact between water and air takes place at an angle of 180⁰ in counter-flow cooling towers, because of that the transfer of heat from water to air becomes more efficient. The pump head is lower in counter-flow cooling towers than in cross-flow cooling towers, which provides energy savings in towers. Factors such as efficient operation and energy saving have made counter-flow cooling towers preferred all over the world in the last decade.
Reinforced Concrete/Cement Cooling Towers are less costly than GRP cooling towers, but the long duration of the construction works is the biggest disadvantage of these type of towers. Also is not possible to transport reinforced concrete towers while other types of cooling towers could be transported.
Since the contact of water over time will cause corrosion on the reinforced concrete inner surfaces, certain periodical maintenance and renovation works will be required for these type of towers.
Under request, we make static project calculations of reinforced concrete cooling towers.
