Counter Flow Cooling Tower

Counter flow cooling tower is a cooling tower in which hot water flows through the filler from top to bottom, air flows through the filler from bottom to top, and hot water and air flow nearly 180 degrees. Including round counter flow cooling tower, square counter flow cooling tower and closed counter flow cooling tower. 

Features

Counterflow Design: The design of these cooling towers involves the water and air flowing in opposite directions. The air enters the tower at the bottom and rises up through the tower while the water flows down from the top of the tower.

Heat Transfer: Counterflow cooling towers are highly effective at heat transfer. The flow of water and air in opposite directions maximizes the contact between the two, allowing for efficient transfer of heat from the water to the air.

Low Energy Consumption: These cooling towers typically require less energy to operate compared to other types of cooling towers. This is due to the counterflow design which allows for a more efficient heat transfer process.

Compact Design: Counterflow cooling towers are often more compact compared to other types of cooling towers, which can be useful in situations where space is limited.

Water Conservation: Counterflow cooling towers also have the ability to conserve water. By using a closed-loop system, the water can be recycled and reused, reducing the amount of water required for cooling.

Reduced Environmental Impact: The water conservation feature of counterflow cooling towers also means that there is less water waste and potential for water pollution, which can help reduce the environmental impact of cooling tower operations.

Types of Counter Flow Cooling Tower

Counter flow cooling towers usually occupy a smaller area than crossflow towers and achieve maximum thermal performance out of each plan area. Counterflow cooling towers can help minimize your pump head requirements. Moreover, counterflow cooling towers are less likely to ice up in cold weather conditions. AUVC counter flow cooling towers are available in various cell sizes and various combinations of components, to meet your specific application requirements and offer you the most effective value.
