Through a renowned installer from Guipuzcoa, Torraval supplies a cooling tower for the Guetaria fishermen’s guild.
THE PROJECT
The Guipuzcoan firm specializing in industrial refrigeration contacted Torraval to supply an open tower for the following conditions.
* Cooling power to dissipate: close to 1000 kW.
* Wet bulb temperature: +24ºC.
* Water inlet temperature: +34ºC
* Water outlet temperature: +29ºC
PREVIOUS CONSIDERATIONS
To correctly select the most suitable tower, it is necessary to have additional information about water quality, i.e., conductivity, pH, suspended solids, etc., since this information helps to select the most suitable materials and, above all, the type of filling.
Since the water to be cooled is used to condense the refrigerant of a refrigeration plant, we are dealing with clean, decalcified mains water.
To find the best solution, the dimensions of the room to be installed are also taken into account, as well as the space left over for maintenance work.
It is a requirement that the tower has anti-freeze resistor and a minimum level sensor. Both elements are incorporated into the tower.
THE SOLUTION: PME-2853 E CW
Highlights of the new tower
The new cooling tower offers significant advantages compared to previous models:
1. 24 PP Anti-clogging spray nozzles
2. Nozzle model MB 40/30, Tangential nozzle type
3. Fan type Axial fully coupled to the suction motor in flow
