A key element in open circuit cooling towers is the thermal fill pack (also called the "fill pack"). The greater the surface area of the water that comes into contact with the airflow through the pack, the greater the efficiency in terms of heat transfer. Not only that, but the contact time also plays an important role in ensuring the high efficiency of the cooling tower. Type of fill packs in cooling towers There are two types of fill packs: film and splash.  Both have the sa...

In industrial cooling towers made of galvanized steel, passivation is an electrochemical process that slows or prevents possible corrosion of the metal from which the units are made.  Rust that occurs on the cooling towers during the first period of use, called "white rust", is preventable by pre-treading the metal surface of the cooling tower.  ‍ Galvanized steel in industrial cooling towers In the air conditioning(HVAC) market, galvanized steel is, to date, the main mater...
