Salt Water Concrete Cooling Towers - Design Considerations

A properly designed cooling tower promotes the maximum possible contact between air and water—and does so for the maximum possible time period. This effort on the part of the designer results in an efficiency which, although greatly appreciated in the summertime, has the capability to produce performance-degrading ice formations during winter operation.

A cooling tower reacts much like a human being to its air supply. If it is caused to reinhale its own exhaust, it begins to smother. If that air supply is restricted, it begins to choke.

近年来，能源成本和运营效率已成为许多建筑业主和工厂运营商关注的重点。能源资源未来价格的当前前景表明，随着环境问题和高昂的资金成本对建筑设计和运营产生越来越大的影响，这些问题将变得更加紧迫。

Factory assembled cooling towers have been manufactured from "heavy mill galvanized" (HMG) steel for many years. HMG steel is continuously hot dip coated with protective zinc at the steel processing mill. The steel is treated subsequent to coating with a chromate rinse to initially passivate the zinc surface, providing for protection during storage, fabrication and initial operation from "wet storage stain".
