How to Improve Energy Efficiency of Cooling Tower

Cooling tower remains in operational mode throughout the year, especially in regions temperature remains between 30 degree Celsius - 50 degree Celsius. Sometime, despite of taking good care the tower may not give satisfactory performance. In such case, user may consider the following points:

  • Optimize cooling tower fan blade angle as per season.
  • Correct the uneven blade tip and poor fan balance
  • Replace some cooling tower parts like splash bars with PVC cellular film fill, spray type nozzles with new square type nozzle.
  • Opt for nozzle that do not clog
  • Cover water basin to minimize biological growth
  • Maintain static water distribution system
  • Keep the cooling water temperature to minimum level
  • Monitor approach, effectiveness and cooling capacity
  • Monitor liquid to gas ratio and water flow rates
  • Keep an eye on cooling water pumps regularly
  • Consider energy efficient FRP towers and blades for fan energy saving
  • Opt for multi-cell cooling towers i.e number of fans and motors per cell
  • Consider nozzles and sprays made of stainless steel to avoid corrosion problem.
