reaches such high levels that requires a device to dissipate it. A cooling tower is a device that does just that through waste heat rejection to the open air. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/equipment\/309\/cooling-towers\">Linquip<\/a> is one of the most reliable platforms for suppliers of cooling tower parts and products. We are here to help you meet your technical and business needs.<\/p>\n<p>Continue reading for more information on these towers and their parts.<\/p>\n<p>As an important component of many industrial processes, cooling towers are classified based on a number of different criteria. They come in different sizes from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid structures and could be used in HVAC or industrial applications.<\/p>\n<p>Cooling towers can be categorized based on their airflow generation methods, namely natural draft, mechanical draft (forced and induced), and fan-assisted natural draft. Cooling towers can also be classified based on their cooling flow into crossflow or counterflow cooling towers. The heat transfer method of cooling towers also categorizes these devices into open-circuit wet cooling or closed-circuit wet, dry, or hybrid cooling towers. It is possible to have these towers in package units or as Factory-Assembled Product (FAP), or as Field-Erected Product (FEP). <strong>More information on cooling tower types and classifications can be found here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1348\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1348\" style=\"width: 972px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-30-at-5.23.48-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"Cooling Tower Parts\" width=\"972\" height=\"620\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-30-at-5.23.48-PM.jpeg 972w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-30-at-5.23.48-PM-300x191.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-30-at-5.23.48-PM-768x490.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-30-at-5.23.48-PM-970x620.jpeg 970w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-30-at-5.23.48-PM-696x444.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-30-at-5.23.48-PM-658x420.jpeg 658w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 972px) 100vw, 972px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1348\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cooling Tower Parts | Linquip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cooling towers have different components and they consist of various parts working together to ensure the efficiency and proper functionality of the system.

This element is, in a way, the most important part as it is the identifier of cooling tower&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>A higher contact surface between the cooling and working media increases the rate of heat transfer between them. The main function of fills in cooling towers is to increase this contact surface as much as possible to ensure an optimum heat transfer rate between the air and water for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p id=\"b588\" class=\"gr hf ap by gt b gu gv hg gw gx hh gy gz hi ha hb hj hc hd hk he en\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Fill media can be either of the film style type or splash style type. The film style fills, which is used in most cooling towers, produce thick water strips that increase the rate of heat transfer and also larger evaporation rates. splash style fills are commonly used in crossflow cooling towers in which water cascades down on staggered slats that breaks up water droplets to increase the water surface area.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hot_Water_Distribution_Basin\"><\/span>Hot Water Distribution Basin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_493\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-493\" style=\"width: 775px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling.jpg\" alt=\"Cooling Tower Water Distribution Piping\" width=\"775\" height=\"403\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling-696x362.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-493\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image From procces-cooling.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The (hot water) distribution basin is located above the fills where the hot process water accumulates.

The purpose of this device is to capture the large water droplets in the cooling tower air stream and minimize the loss of process water.<\/p>\n<p>The eliminator redirects the moisture and water droplets towards another part of the system, preventing them from leaving the cooling tower. The air and water would afterward be separated and recycled for other operational purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the necessity of process water loss prevention, the reason behind the elimination of these large water droplets is that they contain chemicals and minerals considered to be hazardous for the environment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_Distribution_Piping\"><\/span>Water Distribution Piping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_493\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-493\" style=\"width: 775px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling.jpg\" alt=\"Cooling Tower Water Distribution Piping\" width=\"775\" height=\"403\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling-768x399.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Cooling-Tower-Water-Distribution-Piping-process-cooling-696x362.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-493\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image From procces-cooling.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Water distribution piping system is also one of the other important cooling tower parts.
