HACST open-circuit cooling towers cool circulating water through direct air-water contact and evaporation, available in square counter-flow, cross-flow and bottle types for industrial and HVAC use.
Open Cooling Tower Selection
Open cooling towers cool circulating water through direct contact with air, using evaporation to remove heat from the system. They are widely used in HVAC systems, industrial process cooling, compressors, plastic machinery, power equipment and general plant utilities. Compared with closed-loop systems, open towers can offer a simple and economical cooling method when the circulating water can be treated and maintained properly.
HACST open cooling tower options include counter-flow, cross-flow and bottle type designs for different capacity ranges, site layouts and maintenance preferences. Selection should start with water flow, inlet and outlet temperatures, wet-bulb temperature, water quality, installation space and noise requirements. Matching tower structure, fill, fan and water distribution design to the operating conditions helps achieve stable cooling performance and easier long-term service.
