Product Description

Overview of Basinless Liquid Cooling Tower

Basinless Liquid Cooling Tower by Mach Cooling    Mach Cooling’s basinless liquid cooling towers, part of the AFW series, are energy-efficient cooling solutions designed for industrial and commercial applications. Featuring a basinless design that utilizes existing cold water basins, these towers offer a lifespan of 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Constructed with high-strength FRP materials, they ensure corrosion resistance, reduced installation costs, and a compact footprint. Ideal for steel, chemical, power, and HVAC systems, they provide reliable cooling with low noise and minimal water loss. Compare with our square counter flow cooling towers for alternative configurations.

Operating Principle of Basinless Liquid Cooling Tower


The basinless liquid cooling tower operates using a counter-flow mechanism for efficient heat exchange:

  1. Hot water is sprayed onto a fill material via a gravity-based or pool-type water distribution system, forming a thin water film.

  2. Air flows upward through the fill, exchanging heat with the water film, causing partial evaporation to remove heat.

  3. Cooled water is collected in an existing cold water basin, reducing water loss with a high-efficiency water collector.

Key Features of Basinless Liquid Cooling Tower


  • Basinless Design

    Eliminates the integrated basin, using existing cold water basins to reduce installation costs and footprint.

  • Advanced Structure

    Optimized air and water flow design ensures superior heat exchange efficiency, meeting global standards.

  • Light and Durable

    High-strength FRP body resists corrosion, aging, and extreme conditions (Richter 8 earthquake, 12-level typhoon, 200 kg/m² snow load).

  • Low Noise Operation

    Specialized motor and fan with noise reduction technology keep levels below 60 dB(A), ideal for noise-sensitive areas.

  • Energy Efficiency

    Energy-saving motors and internal circulation reduce power consumption by up to 30% compared to similar products.

  • Environmental Protection

    High-efficiency water collector reduces water drift to less than 0.01%, minimizing environmental impact.

  • High Pollutant Removal

    Sewage grid PP fillers with high porosity enhance water-biofilm contact, improving pollutant removal efficiency.

  • Grid Packing Design

    Prevents microbial agglomeration and blockages, maintaining smooth operation and reducing maintenance costs.

Main Components of Basinless Liquid Cooling Tower


Tower Structure

Hot-dip galvanized steel frame (upgradable to 304/316 stainless steel) with corrosion and aging resistance, capable of withstanding extreme conditions. Includes a fan system and a water collection tray for distribution and storage.

Installation Guidelines for Basinless Liquid Cooling Tower


  • Select a well-ventilated site free from heat sources or obstructions for optimal airflow.

  • Verify the site’s load-bearing capacity and compatibility with existing cold water basins.

  • Ensure foundation construction adheres to supplier specifications with a maximum elevation error of ±5mm.

  • Maintain spacing between towers or buildings at least equal to the tower’s largest diameter, with extra space for ultra-low noise models.

  • Design pool depth, outlet, and discharge pipes based on specific requirements if constructing independently.

  • Avoid open flames or welding near the tower; take precautions if necessary.

  • Before operation, confirm secure foundation connections, lubricate components, and check wiring.

  • Assign professional operators for regular inspections and maintenance logging.

  • Cover the tower with a tarpaulin during extended downtime to protect components.
