Power Saving Ideas in Cooling Towers

Cooling Tower is generally known for its high energy consumption. But, engineers today, have come a long way. They manufacture cooling equipment which assure power saving opportunity. However, it is possible only when the operator/owner of cooling tower agrees with the following points:

Cooling Tower Designs by CASE

• Customize fan blade angle on the basis of operational load.
• Check fan blade tip and balance of the blade
• Replace old nozzles with new one, if necessary
• Install new nozzles at regular intervals to get uniform water pattern
• Check balanced water flow in hot water basin
• Opt for gel coat parts to prevent from UV rays and algae formation
• Use energy efficient blade for fan energy saving
• Use standard motor (ABB/Crompton/Kirloskar/GE)
• Use FRP panels of 5mm thickness

Besides the above mentioned points, one key point to consider is to use multi-cell cooling towers. Manufacturers believe that this type of cooling tower not only give optimum performance and efficiency but also assist end users in saving tremendous power. 

For sample design, check the FRP cooling towers offered by CASE Group in India. They say that their cooling towers can read the atmospheric conditions automatically and can manipulate the speed thereby saving enormous power.
