Cooling Towers

Cooling towers are classified into natural draught, induced draught, and forced draught towers. Natural draught towers rely solely on wind to move air through the tower and are tall and narrow in construction with air and water flowing countercurrently without any packing. Induced draught towers use fans to induce airflow countercurrently against falling water, while forced draught towers force air through the tower in the same direction as the falling water.
