The problem of ice formation in cooling towers in winter
Thread Content
In winter, the air inlets of cooling towers freeze due to the low temperatures, which often damages the packing material. How can this problem be solved?
We often shut down the fan.
Reverse the fan motor, and the ice will melt quickly. This method is extremely simple. This dry method may not meet electrical regulations, but it is particularly effective.
Good idea; at least it’s a new approach! I’m behind you!!!
We have this problem too; generally, we resolve it by reversing the direction of the fan.
It also happens in extremely cold weather, but no measures have been taken; perhaps the cold period isn’t very long.
Reversing the fan direction is effective; it may not comply with regulations, but no problems have ever arisen as a result.
