At the heart of many industries and commercial buildings lies a fundamental component for thermal management: cooling towers.But what exactly are these systems, and how do they manage to dissipate heat efficiently? What is a cooling tower? A cooling tower is essentially a heat exchange device designed to dissipate residual heat from a system and release it into the atmosphere. This is achieved by cooling a stream of water that has absorbed heat from an...
Read moreWhen we think about cooling equipment, we usually imagine the typical open-circuit cooling tower—an evaporative cooler that operates through direct contact between air and water. However, at Torraval, we understand that this is not always the optimal solution for public and industrial spaces. In some projects, it is preferable to avoid direct contact between air and water (hydraulic separation), making a closed-circuit cooling tower the ideal choice. What are closed-circuit cooling towers? Let’s take a...
Read moreThe field erected cooling towers (FECT) are imposing structures that play a key role across various industrial sectors. Their capacity to handle large volumes of water makes them essential components for processes that generate heat which needs to be dissipated. A cooling tower for large water flows,mainly used in industrial processes that generate high temperatures, is usually of the open circuit type, operating through the process of evaporative cooling. These towers can be built in situ,...
