🧊 What is a Cooling Tower?

Efficient Heat Rejection with CTP Engineering

A cooling tower is a key component in industrial and commercial systems designed to remove excess heat by cooling water through evaporation. At CTP Engineering, we manufacture durable and high-performance FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) cooling towers, custom-designed for your system’s needs.

CTP Engineering – Turkey’s leading manufacturer of corrosion-resistant and energy-efficient cooling towers.


🌡️ What is the Purpose of a Cooling Tower?

A cooling tower serves to dissipate unwanted heat from processes such as power generation, chemical processing, manufacturing, and large-scale air conditioning systems. The cooled water is then recycled, making the system more eco-friendly and cost-effective.

Key Functions:

  • Reduces process water temperature

  • Enables system energy savings

  • Improves equipment life span

  • Reduces environmental footprint

💡 By reusing cooled water, a cooling tower can save up to 98% of the water compared to once-through systems.


⚙️ What is the Duty of a Cooling Tower?

The primary duty is to remove heat from hot water through evaporative cooling. Hot water from industrial systems is distributed over a fill media inside the tower. As air moves through the structure, a portion of the water evaporates, taking heat with it.

🔢 What Are the Four Types of Cooling Towers?

TypeAirflow DesignFeaturesApplications
CrossflowHorizontal air flowEasy maintenance, open structureCommercial HVAC
CounterflowVertical air flowSpace-saving, more thermally efficientIndustrial processes
Induced DraftAir pulled by fanHigh cooling capacity, quiet operationPower plants, petrochemical industries
Forced DraftAir pushed by fanCompact footprint, higher noise levelSmall-scale industrial applications

📐 All types can be manufactured in compact or modular forms by CTP Engineering.


❄️ Is a Cooling Tower an Air Conditioner?

No. A cooling tower is not an air conditioner. While air conditioners directly cool indoor spaces, cooling towers cool water used in systems like industrial chillers or HVAC plants. They are a component of a larger cooling infrastructure.
