A Closed-Circuit Cooling Tower is essential when cooling water quality is critical and must be protected from atmospheric contamination. These towers are specifically designed for a set duty and cannot be modified later for increased capacity. Over time, the internal coils may accumulate fouling, leading to decreased efficiency. Cleaning the internal tubes presents a significant challenge, making maintenance costly and complex.
A Superior Alternative: Open-Circuit Cooling Towers with Heat Exchangers
To overcome these challenges, we recommend using an Open-Circuit Cooling Tower combined with a Stainless-Steel Plate-Type Heat Exchanger. This configuration provides the same closed-loop benefits as a Closed-Circuit Cooling Tower but with several key advantages:
Easy Maintenance & Cleaning – Ensures consistent heat exchange efficiency by preventing buildup and blockages.
Expandable Capacity – Additional plates can be incorporated in the future to handle increased loads.
Cost-Effective Repairs – Individual plates can be replaced if corrosion occurs, unlike Closed-Circuit Cooling Towers, where an entire coil must be replaced if any tubes are compromised.
Optional Self-Flushing Filtration – Reduces the risk of clogging and fouling in the open-circuit system, enhancing long-term performance and reliability.
