Open Type Cooling Tower
Closed Circuit Cooling Tower
-
The FXV is an extensive line of energy-efficient,induced draft.Closed Circuit Cooling Towers incorporating many innovative features,including BAC’s patented Combined Flow Technology,that deliver superior thermal and mechanical performance.The result provides highly reliable performance with reduced maintenance and operating costs for owners and operators of cooling systems. The FXV Closed Circuit Cooling Tower effectively combines the function of a cooling tower and heat exchanger into one piece of equipment permitting the process fluid temperature to be maintained substantially closer to the wet bulb temperature.The process fluid to be cooled is circulated within a serpentine heat exchanger coil,which is continually wetted on the outside by the spray water system.Water sprayed over the coil falls onto a section of highly efficient wet deck surface where it is cooled before falling into the collecting basin to be recirculated.With the FXV’s Combined Flow Technology,air is drawn simultaneously over the coil and wet deck,causing a portion of the water to evaporate.Any water entrained in the air stream is reclaimed by the drift eliminators and returned to the collecting basin.Evaporation removes heat from the spray water,cooling the coil and the process fluid inside. The only water“consumed”in this process is the amount evaporated plus a small amount of blowdown,which limits the concentration of impurities in the recirculating water.
