Description of design and flowpaths for different Circulating Water Systems is included in the Balance of Plant Content we provide our customers. Our cooling tower courses include chemical feed, circulation paths through the condenser and the design and flow through the respective cooling tower cells.
Force Draft Cooling Towers
This course reviews the operation, design, and chemistry of a typical, basic wood-built cooling tower. The cooling tower contains nine cells each with a cooling fan and two circulating water pumps.

Force Draft with Plume Abatement
Required in areas near large populations, some forced draft cooling towers are now equipped with plume abatement equipment that eliminates the water vapor typically visible from wet cooling towers. This course reviews the operation of this type of cooling tower with and without the plume abatement system in service.

Natural Draft Cooling Towers
Typically seen in larger, high-output coal and nuclear power plants, the hyperbolic cooling tower utilizes its design to cause a difference in density of the local ambient air to create a natural up-draft for cooling. This course covers the operation of a natural draft cooling tower and its chemistry.
