1. The Right Cooling Tower for Your Water Chiller

Are you still worried about choosing a suitable cooling tower for your chiller? SCY Chiller is here to help.

To find out how to choose a cooling water tower with sufficient cooling capacity, you should understand what circumstances require the use of a cooling tower.

2. What Kind of Chillers Need to Use a Cooling Tower

Luftgekühlter Kühler vs Wassergekühlter Kühler

  • No: Luftgekühlte Kältemaschinen verwenden einen Kondensator, der den „Heizkörpern“ in einem Auto ähnelt. Sie verwenden einen Ventilator, um Luft durch die Kühlschlange zu drücken. Sofern sie nicht speziell für hohe Umgebungsbedingungen ausgelegt sind, müssen luftgekühlte Kondensatoren bei einer Umgebungstemperatur von 35 °C (95 °F) oder weniger effektiv arbeiten.
  • Yes: Water-cooled chillers function in the same way as air-cooled chillers but require two steps to complete the transfer of heat. First, heat enters the condenser water from the refrigerant vapor. The warm condenser water is then pumped to the cooling tower, where the heat from the process is eventually vented to the atmosphere.

We also published an article about how to choose a chiller for your application.

3. How Does a Cooling Tower Work?

Ein Kühlturm ist eine große Wärmetauschereinheit, die Kühlwasser bereitstellt, um Wärme aus einem Kühlmittel in Ihrem Kühler zu entfernen. Wenn das Kühlwasser auf die Luft trifft, verdunstet ein kleiner Teil und senkt seine Temperatur. Dies wird als „Verdunstungskühlung“ bezeichnet.

The nozzles in the tower spray water on the inner surface to maximize contact with the air and increase the cooling effect. A cooling fan located in the tower helps the cooling process, while a drift eliminator removes the tiny droplets generated during evaporation of the airflow in the tower.
