Counter-flow cooling towers perform more effectively than cross-flow cooling towers when we compare in temrs of 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 saving 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.
GRP Constructed Counterflow Cooling Towers are the most preferred counter flow cooling tower type in recent years. The most significant feature of GRP cooling towers is that they are resistant to the destructive effects of water, air and sun. There is no risk of corrosion. Steel, wood, concrete/Cement construction towers are abraded over time. However, abrasion does not occur in GRP profiles. Another important feature of GRP Cooling Towers, the light weight of the profiles, makes assembly processes easier.
It is possible to manufacture cooling towers which are endurable to extremely corrosive environments such as sea water by using different polyester materials in the production of GRP profiles. The main sectors which GRP Counterflow cooling towers are used in are; Energy, Iron-Steel and Food Industry. Of course is possible and is common to use this type of cooling tower in all other industries.
Towers have the same dimensions but different construction designs do not have the identical static properties. Therefore, the design of GRP Cooling Towers requires experience and special static calculations. Fractional or complete collapses are experienced over time if the towers are not designed well. When we present our offer for Cooling Tower, we also inform our valued customers in detail how many tons of GRP profiles will be used in the tower. When you compare this information with the offers you receive from other companies, you could easily see the difference.
