Cooling Tower Buyer’s Guide for Gulf Industries
Your Complete Resource for Selecting the Right Cooling Solution in the Middle East
🔹 1. Understanding Your Cooling Needs
Before selecting a cooling tower, assess:
- ● Application Type: HVAC, petrochemical, power generation, steel plants, etc.
- ● Heat Load: How much heat needs to be dissipated (kcal/hr or BTU/hr)?
- ● Water Availability: Is water a scarce resource in your region?
- ● Air Quality: Is the environment dusty or corrosive?
- ● Regulatory Compliance: Are there water or energy usage regulations in your country?
🔹 2. Why Closed Circuit Cooling Towers (CCCTs) Are Ideal for the Gulf
✅ Advantages Over Open Circuit Towers:
| Feature | Closed Circuit | Open Circuit |
|---|---|---|
| Water Usage | Low | High (evaporation + blowdown) |
| Maintenance | Low (sealed loop) | High (fouling, scaling) |
| Efficiency in Dusty Climate | High | Low |
| Contamination Risk | Minimal | High |
| Long-Term Cost | Lower ROI in 2–3 years | Higher O&M cost |
Recommendation: Harrison’s Closed Circuit Cooling Towers are optimized for harsh, dry, and dusty climates — perfect for UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
