A BAC counterflow cooling tower is a cooling tower model from Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC) that uses the counterflow principle for heat rejection. Here’s an overview for you:
Counterflow means the air flows vertically upward, opposite to the downward flow of water.
Hot water enters at the top, is distributed through spray nozzles, and falls downward through the fill media.
At the same time, air is drawn upward by an induced draft fan at the top.
The opposing flows of water and air maximize heat and mass transfer, cooling the water efficiently before it collects in the basin.
Spray nozzles distribute hot water evenly over the fill.
High surface area PVC or film-type material where water spreads and contacts air.
Induced draft fan at the top pulls air upward through the fill.
Capture water droplets to reduce drift losses.
Collects the cooled water at the bottom for recirculation.
Encloses the tower and supports the components.
High efficiency due to maximum contact time between air and water.
Compact footprint (smaller plan area than crossflow towers).
Lower drift losses with effective eliminators.
Energy savings with BAC’s optimized fan and fill design.
Factory-assembled models for faster installation and lower site costs.
HVAC cooling for large buildings.
Process cooling in industries (power plants, chemical plants, steel, food processing).
District cooling systems.
