Wet Cooling Tower
Wet cooling tower is a heat rejection device that extracts heat from the moving water stream to the atmosphere thereby reducing the water temperature significantly. Type of heat rejection in a cooling tower is termed `evaporative` in that it allows a small portion of the water being cooled to evaporate into a moving air stream to provide significant cooling to the rest of that water stream. Think about something hot being cooled down by pouring water onto it. A wet surface cools down much faster than a dry one. Similarly, evaporative heat rejection devices, such as cooling towers are much more effective than their dry counterparts. Common applications for cooling towers are providing cooled water for air-conditioning, manufacturing and electric power generation.
Yolyapı wet cooling towers are superior to alternative products in all aspects. Their energy consumption and maintenance expenses are low. Although they are more expensive compared to other locally produced cooling towers, their operational lifetime is much longer, which makes them the most cost-effective investment. Since their cooling performance meets customer needs exactly, they increase the efficiency of the plant and help to save money from their investment onwards. Besides, their spare parts cost less and can be obtained much faster than imported cooling towers.
When all these factors are considered, Yolyapı wet cooling towers excel in terms of product qualities among their competitors. Of course, this explains why our customers, like Cargill, Toyota, Procter&Gamble, Ford and Hyundai prefer Yolyapi Cooling Towers for their new and expansion investments.
There are two main types of cooling towers: counter-flow and cross-flow. In a counter-flow cooling tower, air travels upward through the fill or tube bundles, opposite to the downward motion of the water. In a cross-flow cooling tower, air moves horizontally through the fill as the water moves downward. Since the counter-flow tower is a preferred technology and since Yolyapı specializes on it we will explore it in more detail.
A counter-flow cooling tower is an enclosed structure with internal means to distribute the warm water fed to it over a labyrinth-like packing or "fill." The fill provides a vastly expanded air-water interface for heating of the air and evaporation to take place. The water is cooled as it descends through the fill by gravity while in direct contact with air that passes over it. Mechanical-draft cooling towers rely on power-driven fans to draw or force the air through the tower. The cooled water is then collected in a cold water basin below the fill from which it is pumped back through the process to absorb more heat. The heated and moisture laden air leaving the fill is discharged to the atmosphere.
