A cooling tower is a device that uses water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and discharge it into the atmosphere, in order to lower the water temperature; Its cooling is an evaporative heat dissipation device that utilizes the flow and contact of water and air to generate steam through cold and heat exchange. The steam evaporates and carries away heat to achieve principles such as evaporative heat dissipation, convective heat transfer, and radiation heat transfer, in order to dissipate the waste heat generated in industry or refrigeration and air conditioning to reduce water temperature and ensure the normal operation of the system. The device is generally in a barrel shape, hence the name cooling tower.
Cooling towers are mainly used in areas such as air conditioning cooling systems, refrigeration series, injection molding, leather making, foaming, power generation, steam turbines, aluminum profile processing, air compressors, industrial water cooling, etc. The most commonly used industries are air conditioning cooling, refrigeration, and plastic chemical industry. The specific division is as follows:
A. Air temperature regulation category: air conditioning equipment, cold storage, refrigeration rooms, refrigeration, heating and cooling air conditioning, etc;
B. Manufacturing and processing industries: food industry, pharmaceutical industry, metal casting, plastic industry, rubber industry, textile industry, steel mills, chemical industry, petrochemical products, etc;
C. Mechanical operation cooling category: generators, steam turbines, air compressors, hydraulic presses, engines, etc;
D. Other industries
The function of a cooling tower is to exchange heat between the cooling water carrying waste heat inside the tower and the air, allowing waste heat to be transferred to the air and dispersed into the atmosphere.
