GHM Series Cross Flow Closed Water Cooling Towers

 

 

STRUCTURE & CASING

The standard enclosure is made of a special type of highly corrosion-resistant steel sheet coated with a composition of Zn+Al(11%)+Mg(3%), and a trace amount of silicon, originally imported from Nippon Steel or Posco. The panels are sheared and folded precisely in whole cold machining process, then densely bolted and sealed for water tightness, with sufficient reinforcing bars, preventing deforming during hoisting process in fields. Each tower is completed with maintenance access and doors of maximized size, for internal inspection convenience. Heat exchange section is firmly supported by frame made in stainless steel, or H.D.G steel plated entirely after welding.

 

   

 

EVAPORATIVE COOLING COILS

The water cooling series adopt high efficient heat exchange coils. Optimized coils has effectively reduced air-side resistance, suitable to work with larger amount of spray water, and significantly improved heat transfer efficiency. The heat exchanger combines one or more coils supported by steel structure, firm and durable.This whole section is of patented design, easy to eliminate cooling medium fluid. Standard coils tube made in stainless steel 304/316, or red copper and titanium ally on option. Different wall thickness can be met on request. Each coil is tested under continuous nitrogen gas pressure of 30 bar for 24 hours, ensure no leaking or weak point, with guarantee provided for 18 for both raw material and design of this critical section of an evaporative cooler.

 

DIRECT-DRIVE AXIAL FANS

The standard closed loop series adopt direct-drive axial fans, fitted with resin or al-alloy airfoil blades perfectly balanced and coupled to a weather proof TEFC three-phases electric motor. The fan casing is a galvanized steel cylinder to draw the air vertically and avoid the risk of recirculation. The tip speed of the impeller is limited to keep the noise level within acceptable limits.

 

 

SPRAY PUMP

Standard spray pumps are of GZ horizontal centrifugal series from GSD brand, with motor of brand TECO, specially designed for evaporative cooling equipments, of generally large flow rate but low pumping head. The selected pumps are of dynamic-static balance, with shaft as an extended section from the motor, for most reliable concentricity. With first grade bearings, the pumps runat minimized vibration and low noise. Mechanicseals avoids abrasion to shaft, no leakage in long term service life. Overload protected on any point of the performance curve, not exceeding the rated power during the whole working period. Enclosure materials and installation arrangement can be optional and modified to suit different projects requirements.

 

 

WET DECK FILL 

The fills are formed in flame-retardant PVC sheets with a special shape design of herringbone surface, to distribute water evenly over the entire fill area for maximal thermal performance, can be integrated with air inlet louvers and drift eliminators. For medium fouled water, fill types with enlarged grids are available to reduce the chances of blocks. All the raw materials are of virgin grade from approved suppliers, with long service life in tough environment.

 

 

DRIFT ELIMINATOR

Cellular Drift Eliminators are specifically designed to achieve maximum drift removal. With significantly lower pressure drop. The modules are constructed of a series of sinusoidal-shaped, corrugated PVC sheets that are mechanically assembled to mating sinusoidal structural waves, forming closed cells. These cells force the drift droplets being carried in the leaving airstream to make three distinct changes in direction. When the air is forced to change direction, the inertia of the water droplets keeps them moving in a straight line, causing them to impact the wall of the drift eliminator and drain back into the wet section of the tower.

 

 

AIR INLET LOUVERS

Cellular air Inlet louvers with advanced design improve air flow into the cooling tower, keep out debris, eliminate water splash-out, which otherwise can cause icing, near-site water damage,and unnecessary water loss. The deign restrict the amount of sunlight into the cooling tower to impede algae growth, reduce noise from the tower, and improve the tower's appearance.

 

       

SPRAY PIPE

Spray Pipes made in U-PVC from FPC, of high mechanical strength and long service life, holding pressure1.0 Mpa, accessible to inspect and maintain from outside of the tower, convenient to check with when running fully, completed with buttonholes for quick and tight installations of spray nozzles.

 

 

 

 

FLOAT VALVE

Valve body casted in S.S 304, of gear type allowing water level adjustment more flexible in a wide range with big angle. Float ball made of ABS with internal polyurethane foam filled, free of leaking concern. The entire float valve system is particularly developed for cooling towers, of long service life.

 

 

 

   

ANTI-EDDY FILTER

The filter is punched in the same material as the enclosure, highly corrosion resistant. Effectively filtering the sundries, with anti-eddy arrangement, preventing air bubbles sucked into the pumps, to avoid affection on heat exchange of the liquid fluids.

 

 

   

 

 

FASTENERS

Fastners of leading brands, standard materials in steel dacromet treated, stainless steel on options. Intensity of fastners is higher than average.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

Nominal Tons are based upon temp. drop 35~29.5°C/ 95~85°F, WBT 25.5°C/ 78°F, and 0.681 m³/hr/ton.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WORKING THEORY

 

GHM series belong to induced draft type cross flow cooling towers. During the working process, dry cool air is inlet through wide louvers on one side of the tower, then directed through the heat exchange coils and wet deck fills across the spray water, becoming wet hot air, eventually induced draught out of the tower into the atmosphere by the fans on the top. In this process, a part of heat from the fluids inside the closed loop is transferred efficiently, and removed continuously.
