Alpina cooling tower for industrial use, destination Sorocaba/SP.
Water cooling tower for industrial use, Alpina model 80, destined for Sorocaba/SP.
An industrial cooling tower is the heart of the heat rejection system in many industrial processes. It removes heat from the water used in machines, heat exchangers, chillers, and compressors, returning this cooled water to the process—saving energy and ensuring stable operation.
What is it used for?
Maintaining controlled temperature of equipment and processes
Reducing electrical consumption (less load on chillers)
Increasing machine lifespan and process reliability
Most commonly used types
Crossflow: axial fan, simple maintenance, very common in factories
Counterflow: more compact and efficient per area
Open: water in direct contact with air (most common)
Closed / Closed circuit: insulated coil (less contamination)
Compact / Modular: ideal when space is limited or for future expansion
Where it is applied
Metallurgical, plastics, food, and chemical industries
Steel, petrochemical, paper and pulp industries
Industrial air conditioning systems (chillers)
Main components
Fill: increases the heat exchange area
Fan + motor/gearbox: promotes exchange with air
Dripple eliminators: reduce water carryover
Basin and Structure: FRP, galvanized steel or stainless steel
Hydraulic system: distribution, drain and replenishment
How to correctly size
To choose the right model, we usually need:
Water flow rate (m³/h)
Inlet and outlet temperature (°C)
Wet bulb temperature of the location
Installation environment (noise, dust, space)
Water quality (treatment required)
Client: Industry.
Location: Sorocaba/SP.
