Axial Fan Stall
In an ideal world, fans create a constant volume of airflow at a constant fan speed and fan blade pitch angle.
Tips for Establishing Need and Collection of Comprehensive Vibration Data
Monitoring new and existing cooling towers for vibration is critical to maintaining long term performance. As with any rotating or moving mechanical equipment, vibration on the cooling tower structure and noise associated with the drive system is to be expected. Compared to other mechanical equipment, cooling tower excitation forces are at relatively low rotational speeds.
Addressing Fan Sound in Crossflow and Counterflow Cooling Towers
Quieter cooling tower operation is critical as more stringent sound standards are adopted by facilities and communities. Minimizing sound from the fan is often the first step. However, lowering fan sound alone is not equally beneficial for all cooling tower configurations. It is important to understand when minimizing fan sound is the best option to achieve the desired sound level.
SGS Industrial Evaporative Condenser Case Study
SPX Cooling Technologies was able to react quickly to produce and deliver its new SGS Industrial Evaporative Condenser (IEC) to meet the required 2.5-week lead time for a fresh fruit process in South Carolina.
Water Street Tampa District Energy Case Study
