Harrison Cooling Towers
A cooling tower is a heat rejection device that removes unwanted heat from industrial processes or HVAC systems by cooling water through evaporation or air circulation.
Cooling towers transfer waste heat to the atmosphere by allowing water to evaporate or by passing it over a heat exchanger, reducing the temperature of circulating water.
Common types include:
They are used in HVAC, power generation, petrochemicals, food processing, steel plants, and other industries where heat needs to be dissipated.
Closed Circuit Cooling Towers are ideal for Mumbai's humid and coastal climate due to corrosion resistance and reduced water loss.
Consider factors like:
Typically, a well-maintained cooling tower lasts 15-20 years or more depending on material and usage.
FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) towers are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and suitable for coastal cities like Mumbai.
Yes, closed-circuit and hybrid towers reduce water loss through controlled evaporation.
Quarterly inspections are recommended, with deep cleaning every 6 months to 1 year, depending on usage and water quality.
Absolutely. Many pharma units in Mumbai use cooling towers for temperature-sensitive production processes.
Modern towers use noise-reducing fans and materials to comply with noise regulations, even in urban areas.
They reduce the loss of water droplets into the air, improving water efficiency and preventing environmental contamination.
With proper maintenance and modern design, they can be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
It refers to the tower's ability to reduce water temperature close to the wet-bulb temperature.
Blowdown is the process of removing a portion of circulating water to reduce mineral buildup.
Regular checks for scaling, corrosion, biological growth, and mechanical performance are necessary.
Yes, you must comply with pollution control board norms, water usage guidelines, and municipal permissions.
Yes, but humidity can reduce efficiency. Maintenance and airflow optimization help performance.
Consider factors like:
Costs vary from ₹1 lakh to ₹50 lakhs depending on type, size, and customization.
Variable Frequency Drives control fan speed for energy efficiency.
No, cooling towers attract 18% GST under mechanical equipment.
While rare, auxiliary systems like pumps can use solar energy to reduce carbon footprint.
Open towers expose water to air; closed towers circulate fluid through a coil, avoiding contamination.
Legionella is a bacteria that can grow in warm water. Regular disinfection and temperature control mitigate risks.
Yes, using treated or softened water reduces scaling and improves efficiency.
They reduce the load on chillers and compressors, thus saving power.
Some modular designs allow relocation. FRP towers are easier to shift.
Yes, Harrison has a strong dealer network across Maharashtra for sales and service.
Yes, with proper structural support and noise considerations.
If unmanaged, they may consume excess water or emit drift, but modern designs reduce ecological impact.
Monitoring Total Dissolved Solids helps prevent scale and corrosion, extending tower life.
Use formula:
Q = m × Cp × ΔT
Where:
Payback can be 1-3 years through energy and maintenance savings.
Yes, Annual Maintenance Contracts ensure optimal performance and reduce unexpected downtime.
It's the reduction of visible mist (plume) from the tower, often important in cities like Mumbai.
A scalable tower made in segments, ideal for expansion or relocation.
PVC or PP sheets that increase the surface area for heat transfer between air and water.
Overheating of equipment, production downtime, and system inefficiency can result.
Higher temperatures reduce cooling efficiency, hence tower design must account for local climate.
Water added to compensate for evaporation, drift, and blowdown losses.
HVAC towers are smaller and used in buildings, while industrial ones handle higher loads and rugged environments.
Yes, with modern components like new fans, fills, and VFDs.
