Closed Cross Flow Cooling Tower

The closed-circuit crossflow cooling tower is a closed-loop cooling system equipment, whose core components include heat exchange coils, a spray system, and fans. The cooling medium flows within sealed coils, while external air moves horizontally through the fill layer, exchanging heat with sprayed water to achieve efficient heat dissipation. Compared to counterflow designs, it features a more compact structure, uniform water distribution, and easier maintenance. It is widely used in industries with stringent water purity requirements, such as power generation, chemical processing, and pharmaceuticals. This design effectively prevents medium contamination, reduces water consumption, and is particularly suited for space-constrained environments or scenarios requiring controlled water loss.

Operating Principle of Closed Cross Flow Cooling Tower


The closed cross flow cooling tower uses a closed-loop system for efficient heat exchange:

  1. A water pump circulates high-temperature fluid through a cooling coil.

  2. Pressure-swirl nozzles spray water as fine droplets over the coil, increasing heat transfer surface area.

  3. Horizontal airflow transfers heat to the atmosphere via a fan, with a drift eliminator capturing water droplets to reduce loss.
