• The fills are provided inside the Wooden, steel or concrete structure for
uniform distribution and better atomization of water in the tower.
• The hot water coming out from the condenser is fed to the tower on the
top and allowed to tickle in form of thin drops.
• The air flows from bottom of the tower or perpendicular to the direction
of water flow and then exhausts to the atmosphere after effective cooling.
• To prevent the escape of water particles with air, draft eliminators are
provided at the top of the tower.
PERFORMANCE PARAMETER OF COOLING TOWER
RANGE
This is the difference
between the cooling tower
water inlet and outlet
temperature.

Advantages
It is the most efficient, economical,
feasible dry cooling tower.
Working
This uses ammonia as one of the working
fluid in condenser.
The condenser et evaporated and the heat
exchange takes place between steam and
ammonia.
Ammonia gets evaporated in the condenser
and steam gets cooled to liquid.
Then the ammonia gas condenses in the dry
tower rejecting latent heat of condensation
to the air.
Advantages
The heat transfer coefficient is higher in
the boiling and condensation heat transfer
compared to single phase heat transfer.
Temperature difference between the
ammonia and steam is less.
Hence smaller size and power required
condenser is required.

No preparation is required for atmospheric air is Water is scarce. Bringing water to site is expensive.
available in plenty. Water has to be treated before use.
No restriction on plant location. Water source decides the location of large plants.
No corrosions due to air. Steel parts in contact with water are corroded.
