FAQs
What is the difference between a mist cooling tower and a conventional cooling tower?
A conventional cooling tower usually relies on large fill media and falling water films. A mist tower or water mist cooling tower uses micron-sized droplets from nozzles, so it can be more compact and may use less water and fill material. In suitable climates, this mist based cooling tower can achieve similar cooling with a smaller footprint.
Do mist cooling towers use a lot of water?
Not usually. A mist type cooling tower uses water mainly for evaporation, and most of it is used for cooling. Unevaporated water falls into the basin and is recirculated, while good design and mist eliminators help reduce loss.
In what climates do mist cooling towers work best?
Mist cooling towers work best in hot, relatively dry conditions where the air can still absorb moisture. The bigger the difference between dry bulb and wet bulb temperature, the better the performance of an evaporative mist cooling tower. In very humid conditions, the cooling effect is lower because the air is already close to saturation.
What kind of maintenance does a mist cooling tower need?
Basic maintenance includes checking and cleaning misting nozzles for cooling towers, inspecting pumps and fans, cleaning the basin, and checking drift or mist eliminators. Regular water-quality checks and filtration are important to avoid nozzle clogging and scale build-up.
Can an existing cooling system be upgraded to a mist based cooling tower?
In many cases yes. Older or oversized systems can be modified or replaced with a mist based cooling tower where space, noise or water limits are an issue. A site survey is usually needed to check piping, heat load and structural constraints.
Do you supply mist cooling towers across India?
Yes. As adiabatic cooling tower manufacturers in India, we design, build and supply mist cooling tower systems for projects in different regions, and provide support for selection, layout and commissioning as needed.
