Cooling towers are a relatively inexpensive and reliable way of expelling heat from a number of industrial and commercial processes, including nuclear & thermal power plants, petroleum refineries, ...

Pure water is a rare commodity. Water, as we know it, contains many dissolved minerals. When evaporation occurs in a cooling tower, only the water evaporates; it exits the cooling tower as water vapor ...

Heat transfer depends on the efficiency of contact between air and water flowing through a tower, which means that cooling tower fill design is critical to air-water mixing. Part 1 of this series ...

Worldwide awareness of the need to minimize freshwater use for power generation—while minimizing energy penalties—is growing. The Electric Power Research Institute is involved in several programs that ...

Learn how Tower Tech turned the cooling tower industry literally upside-down, designing a solution for better maintenance and worker safety. Harold Curtis's practical experience identified key ...

Master Industrial cooling tower maintenance in Thailand. This guide covers best practices for biofouling, scaling, and corrosion to boost efficiency and cut costs.

Two hyperbolic cooling towers rise 495 feet over Exelon Corp.’s Byron Generating Station about 110 miles west of Chicago, Ill. The towers help cool the two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors that ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a system crucial for the study of particle physics, now has an additional mission. The world ...

Many power plants and other industrial facilities utilize open recirculating cooling systems equipped with cooling towers for heat transfer from condensers and other heat exchangers. Cooling towers ...
