More efficient use of air due to finer droplet size from pressure spray.
a. SPC SERIES.
These are Round type F.R.P. (Fiber body with stainless steel or galvanized steel structured) counter flow Cooling Towers. Capacity range from 10 USRT to 1500 USRT i.e. from 35 kw to 5.27 Mw per one cell.

CROSS FLOW TYPE COOLING TOWER
ADVANTAGES OF CROSSFLOW cooling towers due to their gravity flow hot water distribution
system:
-
Low Pumping head.
-
Lower first cost pumping systems.
-
Lower annual energy consumption and operating costs.
-
Accepts larger variation in water flow without adverse effect on the water distribution pattern.
-
Easy maintenance access to distribution trays.

c. SRX SERIES.
These are Cross Flow Concrete Structure Cooling Towers. Capacity range from 300 USRT to 3000 USRT i.e. from 1Mw to 10 Mw per one cell.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The air and water distribution systems for counter flow and cross flow cooling towers have advantages and disadvantages inherent in their respective designs. It cannot be said that one is better than the other. Rather, with the proper application, both configurations are cost effective and can serve the end user well.
Cross flow cooling towers should be specified when the following criteria and limitations are important:
-
To minimize pump head.
-
To minimize pumping and piping first costs.
-
To minimize operating costs.
-
When condenser water flow variance is expected.
-
When ease of maintenance is a concern.
Counter flow cooling towers should be specified when the following criteria and limitations are important:
-
When space (footprint) is restricted.
-
When icing is of extreme concern.
-
When pumping is designed for additional pressure drop.
CAUTION: Never replace an existing cross flow tower with a counter flow tower without engineering evaluation to determine the available condenser water pumping capacity.
If a cross flow tower is specified, a counter flow tower is not an equal alternative.
Cooling tower performance is related to the amount of air moving through the tower and coming into direct contact with the water.
