Cooling towers

Dry cooling towers

JSC «GANDRAS ENERGOEFEKTAS» select and supply dry (closed circuit) cooling towers.

Dry cooler (dry cooling tower) – heat exchanger, which provides cooling of a heat-transfer liquid flowing into it. Because of ambient air exhausted with axial fans circulation through the plates cooling is realized. Technological process requiring a large volume of cold water provided by coolers.

They are also provides cooling of the heat-transfer agent, cooling condenser of the water cooled machines and cooling of the heat engine in power generating aggregates. When water predetermined temperature permanently higher than ambient air temperature dry cooler can work whole year providing electric power economy greater than water cooled chiller. In case of water with lower temperature than ambient air temperature (summer time) is necessary the dry cooler may be completed with an adiabatic cooling system.

Dry coolers designed for open-air installation, therefore additions in liquid with glycol, antifreeze, alcohol etc. use to prevent freezing of the water inside the cooling tower in a cold season.

There are some advantages and disadvantages using dry coolers:

  • There is no evaporation of cold water (evaporation of a wet cooling towers reaches 5% of recirculated water volume per hour). Coolers work in a closed loop, therefore it’s not necessary to add in system cooling water, except cases when occurs tie-down flowing or utility changes;
  • It’s not necessary to change heat-transfer agent circulating in a cooling tower;
  • Liquid is chemically active (antifreeze, glycol, alcohol solutions), but has a very high cost and can injury the environment if it will overflow является.

Heat exchanger aggregates for dry collers can be made for vertical and horizontal installation of dry coolers. Also V-type coolers are presented. Each of them can be delivered with one of 4 fans execution according to noise (normal, low, quiet, superquiet).

To save the heat exchanger made from copper pipes with aluminium finning metal plate is used.
Case and foot made from strong zinc-plated steel, covered with powder enamel.
Frame structure provides handling and transportation of dry cooling towers, including a big sized, without any risk.

Wet cooling towers

JSC «GANDRAS ENERGOEFEKTAS» select and supply cooling towers – the water coolers connected with atmosphere (open circuit cooling towers).


Operating principle
The cooling effect in the tower is achieved by the way of evaporation of circulated through the cooling tower water, which is sparged by the special nozzles on sprinkler where flows giving up the heat to circulating air, which drawing in by fans at the top of the cooling tower.

Our offered cooling towers made from superhard and light plastic – fiberglass, all-body made from zinc-coated steel excluding corrosion. 

 

 

Advantages:

  • High corrosive resistance
  • Unusual long operating life
  • Having a smaller weight than steel cooling towers make possible to install the cooling tower where it’s necessary  
  • Comfortable design provides free entrance to each part of tower for cleaning and maintenance
  • Low noise level – modern axial fans has a lower noise level because of rotation frequency reduce
  • Built-in electrical system to prevent freezing of cooling towers and fans in winter time встроенная
  • Nozzles structure provides anti-freezing even if cooling tower will stop in winter time форсунки
  • Scope of supply includes water-collecting sump (hot-well), made of plastic with built-in electrical heater and with level gauge.


We offer cooling towers with heat capacity from 18 kW up to 7300 kW
Depend on cooling tower design there are few types of them:
