Buy a closed cooling tower—focus on these key points!


The cooling tower shell must achieve a certain thickness, with high hardness and toughness, excellent flexural strength, and superior surface gloss. However, some cooling tower manufacturers, in their pursuit of cost savings, not only choose inferior materials but also produce shells that are prone to aging, cracking, and fading. Moreover, the shell often fails to meet the required thickness and strength standards, significantly shortening the cooling tower's service life.

1. Cooling tower shells must achieve a certain thickness, with high hardness and toughness, excellent flexural strength, and superior surface gloss. However, some cooling tower manufacturers, in an effort to cut costs, not only choose inferior materials but also produce shells that are prone to aging, cracking, and fading. Moreover, the shell thickness and strength often fail to meet the required standards, significantly shortening the service life of the cooling towers.

2. The metal framework should be made of high-quality steel, offering excellent load-bearing capacity and outstanding corrosion resistance. Therefore, cooling towers must use steel materials that meet national standards and are of superior quality—this includes not only stainless steel but also certain high-grade steels that have undergone hot-dip galvanizing. The galvanized coating is required to be uniform and finely textured. However, some cooling tower manufacturers still use inferior-quality (thin) steel materials and fail to apply proper galvanizing treatment, leading to the tower’s outer shell being highly susceptible to rust damage.

3. Cooling tower fillers should be made from high-quality materials such as UV-resistant and highly chemical-corrosion-resistant PVC, with scientifically arranged corrugations that ensure uniform distribution of air and water flow, thereby maximizing heat exchange efficiency.

4. The motor features a high insulation rating, excellent starting performance, and reliable operation. For direct-drive cooling towers that are not equipped with a gearbox, the motor used should be of a higher pole number—these motors operate at lower speeds, ensuring smooth and stable performance.

5. The requirements for the fan are: reasonable structure, low air resistance, high airflow, low noise, lightweight design, and high efficiency.

6. Insufficient Cooling Capacity. Some cooling tower manufacturers' products have actual dimensions that differ from those stated in the product manuals—specifically, the towers are noticeably smaller than advertised. This is a classic case of cutting corners through substandard manufacturing practices. Even if such cooling towers are equipped with high-power, high-speed motors and feature fans designed to maximize airflow, they still struggle to deliver effective cooling performance. Moreover, operating the fan at excessively high speeds not only shortens the lifespan of both the fan and the motor but also often leads to severe water drift issues.

7. When selecting a cooling tower, the flow rate should be determined based on the actual needs of the equipment. If the flow rate is too low, the desired cooling effect won't be achieved; if it's too high, it will lead to unnecessary energy waste. Regarding square cooling towers, especially when they are relatively heavy, it’s advisable to choose a multi-fan parallel configuration from the perspectives of operational stability and energy efficiency.

8. The overall placement of the cooling tower is scientifically and reasonably designed, ensuring efficient heat dissipation (cooling) while maintaining a sleek appearance, excellent glossiness, fade resistance, and ease of maintenance.
