When it comes to heat rejection cooling towers are the essential equipment for almost all type of industries. Cooling towers are a special type of heat exchangers where air and water are brought in direct contact with each other to reduce water temperature. cooling tower works on the principle of evaporative cooling. Water is broken …
Open or closed-loop cooling tower, Which is better? Read More »
Ideally, heat should not be released into the atmosphere and it should be recovered for process use. Many times process is not capable of utilizing heat and heat needs to be rejected to the atmosphere to keep the process operational. Air Cooled Heat exchangers are used to reject heat. As in the case of cooling …
The cooling tower is a device used to reject heat and reduce water temperature. counter or cross-flow cooling towers are the two different types of cooling towers based on the airflow pattern. In a counterflow cooling tower, air and water movement are opposite to each other while in a crossflow cooling tower flow of airflow …

Langelier Saturation index(LSI) is an important term in water chemistry. LSI is a measure of a solution’s ability to dissolve or deposit calcium carbonate, is often used as an indicator of the corrosivity of water. It is used for finding ability of water for corrosion or scaling in heat exchanger where water is used as …
