Cooling tower
Thread Content
Regarding the cooling tower, the client has requested that wire mesh be added outside the heat dissipation windows to prevent mosquitoes and catkins from entering. I would like to ask the experts here: will doing this affect the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower? Will it increase the load on the fans at the top, thereby raising operating costs? The mesh is 6-mesh
The impact won’t be significant; it’s similar to adding a filter at the pump inlet.
This setting needs to cover a large area, larger than the area of the blinds. For ordinary cooling towers, I use scaffolding to lay mesh sheets from top to bottom at an angle; this is mainly to prevent floating debris from entering, while insects and the like don’t pose a problem – they can be broken down easily and won’t cause blockages in the equipment. It is also necessary to clean off the fluff and dirt on the surface from time to time. Otherwise, it will be affected. However, this requirement should be specified in the contract; otherwise, it needs to be changed. For reference.
If it is a cooling tower for circulating cooling water, this is feasible; Air Liquide has done this before. There is a lot of willow fluff in the northern regions, so nets are set up near the circulation pool to prevent such fluff from entering the pool
