In previous content, we have analyzed the role of water in industrial cooling systems and the importance of knowing its operating conditions. However, having this data is only the first step in the crucial task of properly sizing the cooling tower. What does sizing a cooling tower involve? Sizing is the technical process that allows defining the most suitable cooling solution for each specific application. It is not simply about selecting a standard unit, but...
Read moreThe drift eliminator is a key component in cooling towers. Its function is to retain and remove water droplets carried by the airflow, preventing water loss and improving system efficiency. Why an efficient fridt eliminator is important A drop separator or drift eliminator is considered highly efficient when it has a drift ratio <0.002% of the recirculating flow, or as we consider when certifying the system. Maintaining this level of efficiency not only optimizes water...
Read moreThe evaporative condensers are sustainable cooling systems designed to minimize water waste through advanced water management and recirculation techniques. Among the different solutions Torraval offers, these condensers stand out for their high capacity to dissipate heat, reducing operational costs and preserving the natural resources around the installation. Key components of evaporative condensers To ensure the proper functioning of an evaporative condenser, the system should include components such as: Casing Water distribution system Ventilation system Coils...

In industries where cooling is essential, adiabatic systems are a sustainable and effective alternative compared to other cooling equipment. What are adiabatic systems These are systems that evaporate water using heat, without supplying external energy. They are capable of reducing air temperature and increasing humidity in a space, without the need for a heat exchange with the surrounding environment. This phenomenon is known as evaporative cooling, a very common solution in industrial sectors where conventional Read more

Cooling cooling towers offer an effective solution for industrial processes, but their correct operation depends on adequate maintenance, including periodic cleaning and inspections. In industrial environments, the distribution system is prone to clogging and blockage, which affects the ducts, channels, and nozzles responsible for distributing the water to be cooled, causing accumulations of sludge or mud that compromise system performance. Common causes of blockage or clogging Blockage of the system arises from a combination of Read more
At Torraval, we have developed a solution consisting of the installation of three cooling towers in a large steel and metallurgical plant located in northern Spain, specifically in Gijón, considered a benchmark within its industry. The design is based on three independent towers that are already in operation and offer advantages such as: Greater availability: cell isolation that allows production to be maintained. Optimal performance: adaptation to partial load conditions. Easy maintenance: a key aspect Read more
Industrial refrigeration is constantly evolving to meet demands for energy efficiency, sustainability, and operational optimization. At Torraval, as specialists in this sector, we want to share the main technological trends transforming industrial refrigeration and shaping the future of facilities in the coming years. Energy savings through variable frequency drives Variable frequency drives are a key tool for optimizing the performance of refrigeration systems. Their ability to regulate operating speed allows the system to be adjusted Read more
At Torraval Cooling, we know that keeping a cooling tower in proper condition is key to ensuring its efficiency and extending its performance. Over time, the accumulation of dirt, sediment, and contaminants can compromise the system’s performance, increasing the risk of costly breakdowns. Therefore, it’s essential to recognize the warning signs that indicate when your tower needs a technical inspection. Key components to consider Distribution system: The accumulation of sludge can block the nozzles, causing Read more
One of the most common concepts in the design and operation of cooling towers is the thermal range (the difference between the inlet and outlet water temperature). However, it is often thought that this parameter depends directly on the tower, when in fact its origin lies in the industrial process itself. What is the range in a cooling tower? The range is defined as the difference between: HWT (Hot Water Temperature): inlet temperature of the Read more
