Cross Flow Cooling Towers

In cross flow cooling tower, water is falling from above, the air and water are flow in vertical way. Because heat dissipation material is closed to the collection basin, the advantage is reducing water falling noise. Cross flow type usually used in square cooling tower, but the structure is fixed with large amount of iron piece, so it cost more higher than round cooling tower.
Crossflow towers use a distinctly different type of water distribution. The hot water is distributed to the fill by gravity thought perforated basins sometimes supported by metering orifices in the floor plate of the distribution basin.
The water runs down over the infill surface as a fine film. The air turbulates in the honey comb infill structure to maximize the contact with the hot water. The hot water enters the distribution system at atmospheric pressure. The pump head required is in general the tower height as static lift. The air movement is horizontally through the infill, across the downward fall of the water.
