As this occurs, a small volume of water is <strong>evaporated<\/strong>, reducing the temperature of the water being circulated through the tower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water<\/strong>, which has been heated by an industrial process or in an HVAC system condenser, is pumped to the cooling tower through pipes. Water entering the cooling tower is sprayed through <strong>nozzles<\/strong> onto layers of heat transfer media called \u201c<strong>fill<\/strong>,\u201d which slows the flow of water through the cooling tower, and creates greater surface area for the water to spread for maximum air-water contact. As the water flows through the cooling tower, it is exposed to air being pulled through the tower by a <strong>motor-driven fan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When the water and air meet, a small amount of water is evaporated, creating <strong>evaporative cooling<\/strong> action. The cooled water is then pumped back to the HVAC condenser or industrial process equipment where it again absorbs heat and then back to the cooling tower in a continuous cycle.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||5px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||2px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;On Demand Webinar&#8221; url=&#8221;\/webinar-library-register\/&#8221; image=&#8221;\/wp-content\/uploads\/CTF_Webinar_sm.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Cooling Tower Webinar&#8221; image_icon_width=&#8221;50%&#8221; image_icon_width_tablet=&#8221;50%&#8221; image_icon_width_phone=&#8221;90%&#8221; image_icon_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;12px|12px|12px|12px|false|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;\/webinar-library-register\/&#8221; child_filter_hue_rotate_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; child_filter_hue_rotate_phone=&#8221;&#8221; child_filter_hue_rotate_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|4px|4px|4px|4px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#ececec&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Cooling Tower Fundamentals presents basic evaporative cooling and cooling tower principles in video format for those wanting to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Cooling Tower Fundamentals Handbook&#8221; url=&#8221;\/library\/cooling-tower-fundamentals\/&#8221; image=&#8221;\/wp-content\/uploads\/cooling_tower_fundamentals.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Cooling Tower Fundamentals&#8221; image_icon_width=&#8221;50%&#8221; image_icon_width_tablet=&#8221;50%&#8221; image_icon_width_phone=&#8221;90%&#8221; image_icon_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;12px|12px|12px|12px|false|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;\/library\/cooling-tower-fundamentals\/&#8221; child_filter_hue_rotate_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; child_filter_hue_rotate_phone=&#8221;&#8221; child_filter_hue_rotate_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|4px|4px|4px|4px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#ececec&#8221; border_color_all_image=&#8221;#ececec&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Cooling Tower Fundamentals Handbook is a valuable resource that includes a glossary of terms, review of cooling tower design types and operation, components, and owner responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#d6d6d6&#8243; divider_style=&#8221;ridge&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||32px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||6px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||12px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<strong>Types of Evaporative Cooling Towers<\/strong>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Not all cooling towers are suitable for all applications.

A free cooling system saves energy costs by allowing the cooling tower to directly satisfy a building\u2019s cooling needs without operating the chiller in cold weather. The amount of potential energy savings available depends almost totally on the overall system design and on the selection of equipment for use in the system.
