The Forced Draft Cooling Tower is an advanced heat transfer lab equipment designed to study the principles of evaporative cooling and heat rejection. In this setup, a fan forces air through the tower, which improves cooling efficiency by enhancing the contact between water and air.
This forced draft cooling tower trainer is widely used in engineering colleges, ITIs, and research centers to demonstrate the working of industrial cooling systems, enabling students to understand key parameters such as range, approach, effectiveness, and overall efficiency.
The forced draft cooling tower educational setup consists of a vertical tower equipped with water distribution nozzles, packing material for extended surface area, and a blower fan at the base that forces air into the system. Warm water is sprayed from the top, and as it comes in contact with the air stream, evaporation takes place, resulting in cooling.
The unit is equipped with digital temperature indicators, temperature sensors (thermocouple & RTD type), flow meters, and control valves for measuring inlet and outlet water temperatures, air flow, and circulation rates. Built on a strong MS powder-coated frame, the apparatus ensures safe, reliable, and durable performance in laboratory environments.
