Since the airflow is counter to the water flow, the coolest water at the bottom is in contact with the driest air while the warmest water at the top is in contact with the moist air, resulting in increased heat transfer efficiency. Induced draft tower comes in square or round shape and the distribution of water may be done either by static branch system or by the sprinkler.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18761\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18761\" style=\"width: 950px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/direct-counter-flow-cooled-cooling-tower-diagram-1.jpg\" alt=\"Induced Draft Cooling Tower\" width=\"950\" height=\"939\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/direct-counter-flow-cooled-cooling-tower-diagram-1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/direct-counter-flow-cooled-cooling-tower-diagram-1-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/direct-counter-flow-cooled-cooling-tower-diagram-1-768x759.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18761\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A schematic diagram of an induced draft cooling tower (Reference: <strong>savree.com<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Induced_Draft_Cooling_Tower_Working_Principle\"><\/span>Induced Draft Cooling Tower Working Principle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At induced draft cooling towers, the incoming cooling water is injected throughout the cooling tower with a spray distribution header. The spray is directed downwards to baffles for maximizing the time of contact of water with air. Maximizing heat exchange surface area is accomplished through the &#8216;cooling water fill&#8217;, made of PVC, wood, metal or other material. Air enters the interior of cooling tower through properly designed &#8216;louvers&#8217;. Air is drawn through the baffled area by big fans and causes the cooling of water. In order to avoid the entrapment of water droplets in the leaving air stream, special device called &#8216;drift eliminators&#8217; are used.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.jpg\" alt=\"induced draft cooling tower - Linquip\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1-265x198.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Induced_Draft_Cooling_Tower\"><\/span>Advantages of Induced Draft Cooling Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The induced draft tower generally offers the most effective and economical solution to most of cooling needs.
