Cooling tower works as a cooling device for an industrial operating system. It cools down the water in the tower with evaporative cooling of water. Cooling tower water is recycled to gain reduced operating costs, maximum use of water resources, and reduced energy consumption. Let’s see how FRP cooling towers are installed.
Installation requirements of FRP cooling tower:
The installation of the FRP cooling tower requires taking several factors into accounts, such as the condition of the equipment, ground quality, installation location, and other external conditions. When you hire a reliable company for the job, they pay the most attention to the foundation of the cooling tower.
Installing body of the FRP cooling tower:
To maintain the cooling tower’s cooling capacity, the FRP cooling tower should be installed at a well-ventilated place. The body of the cooling tower is installed as close to the water tanks so the water pumps can effectively take the water for the cooling process into the tower from water tanks or the available water resources. The cooled water flows to the bottom collecting tray into the condenser downwards. When installing the tower, professionals focus more on the essential elements such as coordination, alignment, stable and firm equipment, the position of the outlet pipe, and cooling tower nozzle.
Installing cooling tower fills:
Cooling tower fills come in different types, including dot wave type, honeycomb type, ramp pattern type, and diaphragm type.
Usually, these fills are made of plastic sheets, joining every four pieces together and separating plates using plastic tubes. A rubber gasket is also used to create a specific gap and the center is fixed by galvanized bolts.
The paper honeycomb watering device can be directly placed on angle steel or flat steel brackets, and can also be settled on small concrete brackets. The total installation height depends on the flow. When the counter flow is used it is generally 500 to 1200 mm and when the cross-flow tower is used, it is 1000 to 1500 mm.
There are two main mounting methods: frame threading method and bonding method.
In the frame threading method, forming a whole requires the galvanized lead wire or four copper wire for positive and negative transmission of point wave plates. Which later requires assembling into a frame made of specific angle steel, which is used as a mounting unit.
The bonding method involves using the G52-2 perchloroethylene varnish, bond 40 to 50 pieces and use of a heavy object for pressing. Once the unit is prepared, it can be directly mounted on the support beam. The installation height of the diagonal ripple water spraying device is 800 to 1200 mm.
Installation of water distribution device:
Water distribution device comes in two types:
Fixed tube water distributor
Rotary tube water distribution
The cooling tower nozzles are required to meet the design requirements or technical conditions of the device. The spray angle and the installed height are considered in determining the distance between the nozzles. It helps in achieving the even distribution of the water spraying device.
Cooling tower nozzle or water distributor can be installed in three ways:
Assembling pipes used for water distribution with slits, with the seam width of 2-3nvn and horizontally arranged seams.
The installation of nozzle water distribution is also possible considering the technical conditions and design requirements of the equipment.
Summary:
Whether you require to install FRP round cooling tower or FRP square cooling tower, you need to approach a company that has vast experience in installing cooling towers. When looking for a cooling tower manufacturer in India, check the ratings and reviews given by the previous customers. If the company has completed successful projects in the past then check whether their quotation fits in your budget. The most important thing to consider is to opt for quality installation, repair, and maintenance service of cooling tower.
