INDUCED DRAFT (FIELD ERECTED)

The induced draft cooling tower generally offers the most effective and economical solution to most of cooling needs. Hamon has supplied
numerous IDCT worldwide for all power and industry applications and all environmental conditions. The IDCT offers the following
advantages:

flexibility
cost effectiveness
air flow almost constant regardless ambient air temperature
adapted to any water flow
flexible operation by shutting some cells
adapted to severe thermal performance
all types of structure wood, FRP, concrete, steel
all types of heat exchange surfaces from splash grids to high performance film
ECONOMICAL DESIGN TAKING FOLLOWING FEATURES INTO ACCOUNT

water quality
air environment (chemicals, dust)
noise and plume limitation
available plot area
local labor costs

Hamon can advise you on how to limit the effect of your tower on the environment in the field of :

performance
drift losses
noise level
prevention of legionella

A Cooling tower is a heat rejection device which extracts waste heat to the
atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature. Cooling
towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool
the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature or, in the case of closed
circuit dry cooling towers, rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the drybulb air temperature.

Common applications include cooling the circulating water used in oil refineries,
petrochemical and other chemical plants, thermal power stations and HVAC systems
for cooling buildings. The main types of cooling towers are natural draft and induced
draft cooling towers. The classification is based on the type of air induction into the
tower.

Cooling towers vary in size from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid
structures (as in the adjacent image) that can be up to 200 metres (660 ft) tall and
100 metres (330 ft) in diameter, or rectangular structures (as in Image 3) that can
be over 40 metres (130 ft) tall and 80 metres (260 ft) long. The hyperboloid cooling
towers are often associated with nuclear power plants[citation needed], although
they are also used to some extent in some large chemical and other industrial
plants. Although these large towers are very prominent, the vast majority of cooling
towers are much smaller, including many units installed on or near buildings to
discharge heat from air conditioning.

Sebuah menara pendingin adalah perangkat penolakan panas yang ekstrak limbah panas ke atmosfer
melalui pendinginan dari aliran air ke suhu yang lebih rendah. Menara pendingin baik dapat
menggunakan penguapan air untuk menghilangkan panas proses dan mendinginkan fluida kerja
mendekati suhu udara bola basah atau, dalam kasus sirkuit tertutup menara pendingin kering, hanya
mengandalkan udara untuk mendinginkan fluida kerja ke dekat suhu udara kering-bola.
Aplikasi umum meliputi pendinginan sirkulasi air digunakan dalam kilang minyak, petrokimia dan pabrik
kimia lainnya, pembangkit listrik termal dan sistem HVAC untuk bangunan pendinginan. Jenis utama
menara pendingin adalah konsep alam dan diinduksi menara rancangan pendingin. Klasifikasi ini
didasarkan pada jenis induksi udara ke menara.
Menara pendingin bervariasi dalam ukuran dari kecil unit atap struktur hyperboloid sangat besar (seperti
pada gambar yang berdekatan) yang bisa sampai 200 meter (660 kaki) dan 100 meter (330 kaki)
diameter, atau struktur persegi panjang (seperti dalam Gambar 3) yang dapat lebih dari 40 meter (130
kaki) dan 80 meter (260 kaki) panjang. Menara pendingin hyperboloid sering dikaitkan dengan
pembangkit listrik tenaga nuklir [rujukan?], Meskipun mereka juga digunakan sampai batas tertentu dalam
beberapa kimia besar dan tanaman industri lainnya. Meskipun menara besar yang sangat menonjol,
sebagian besar menara pendingin jauh lebih kecil, termasuk banyak unit yang terpasang pada atau dekat
bangunan untuk melepaskan panas dari AC.
