Open Type cooling towers include EX/MEX-Serise and Eco-Dyna-Serise models. The EX/MEX-Serise is a cross-flow cooling tower covering large capacities in a compact design. It features patented high-efficiency fill material that minimizes 'dead areas' and maximizes heat exchange efficiency. An excellent drift elimination system, using PVC cellular drift eliminators, reduces drift to less than 0.002%. The Eco-Dyna-Serise integrates the fan, cylinder, and piping within the cooling tower, enhancing space efficiency and achieving low noise and vibration operation.OpenTypecoolingtowersincludeEX/MEX-SeriseandEco-Dyna-Serisemodels.TheEX/MEX-Seriseisacross-flowcoolingtowercoveringlargecapacitiesinacompactdesign.Itfeaturespatentedhigh-efficiencyfillmaterialthatminimizes'deadareas'andmaximizesheatexchangeefficiency.Anexcellentdrifteliminationsystem,usingPVCcellulardrifteliminators,reducesdrifttolessthan0.002%.TheEco-Dyna-Seriseintegratesthefan,cylinder,andpipingwithinthecoolingtower,enhancingspaceefficiencyandachievinglownoiseandvibrationoperation.
Enclosed Type cooling towers are represented by the CKL Serise model. The CKL model prevents cooling water contamination by circulating it within coils (copper or stainless steel) for indirect heat exchange with air. Its copper or stainless steel coils offer superior corrosion resistance. The double cross-flow design, with coils on both sides of the fan, allows for plume abatement operation under low ambient temperatures or low load conditions. These units are suitable for industries requiring continuous operation or sensitive to cooling water contamination, such as semiconductor facilities, data centers, and emergency power plants.EnclosedTypecoolingtowersarerepresentedbytheCKLSerisemodel.TheCKLmodelpreventscoolingwatercontaminationbycirculatingitwithincoils(copperorstainlesssteel)forindirectheatexchangewithair.Itscopperorstainlesssteelcoilsoffersuperiorcorrosionresistance.Thedoublecross-flowdesign,withcoilsonbothsidesofthefan,allowsforplumeabatementoperationunderlowambienttemperaturesorlowloadconditions.Theseunitsaresuitableforindustriesrequiringcontinuousoperationorsensitivetocoolingwatercontamination,suchassemiconductorfacilities,datacenters,andemergencypowerplants.
Plume Abatement Type cooling towers include nPKL, PKL, and GX-TOWER (with CHAPA System) models. The nPKL cooling tower utilizes a 'None Coil' plume reduction technology, mixing air from dry and wet sections to maximize plume abatement efficiency. It incorporates PVC air heaters for cost-effectiveness and lighter weight compared to traditional metal coil systems. An active control system with a 2-stage damper enables over 100% cooling efficiency in hot seasons and complete plume prevention in cold seasons. The CHAPA System in GX-TOWER, inspired by laundry processes (pre-dewatering then heating), is a novel plume abatement device that has passed CTI ATC-150 official tests.PlumeAbatementTypecoolingtowersincludenPKL,PKL,andGX-TOWER(withCHAPASystem)models.ThenPKLcoolingtowerutilizesa'NoneCoil'plumereductiontechnology,mixingairfromdryandwetsectionstomaximizeplumeabatementefficiency.ItincorporatesPVCairheatersforcost-effectivenessandlighterweightcomparedtotraditionalmetalcoilsystems.Anactivecontrolsystemwitha2-stagedamperenablesover100%coolingefficiencyinhotseasonsandcompleteplumepreventionincoldseasons.TheCHAPASysteminGX-TOWER,inspiredbylaundryprocesses(pre-dewateringthenheating),isanovelplumeabatementdevicethathaspassedCTIATC-150officialtests.
Counterflow Type cooling towers are ideal for large-capacity industrial applications. They guarantee high-efficiency cooling performance through precisely molded PVC fill material. An ideal water distribution system, featuring non-clogging nozzles, ensures uniform water distribution even with low-pressure water supply. These towers allow for large-capacity installations in smaller footprints compared to cross-flow types. They offer material versatility, with options for concrete, FRP, steel, or wood construction.CounterflowTypecoolingtowersareidealforlarge-capacityindustrialapplications.Theyguaranteehigh-efficiencycoolingperformancethroughpreciselymoldedPVCfillmaterial.Anidealwaterdistributionsystem,featuringnon-cloggingnozzles,ensuresuniformwaterdistributionevenwithlow-pressurewatersupply.Thesetowersallowforlarge-capacityinstallationsinsmallerfootprintscomparedtocross-flowtypes.Theyoffermaterialversatility,withoptionsforconcrete,FRP,steel,orwoodconstruction.
Wet Type cooling towers feature in-house manufacturing and application capabilities for high-performance axial fans. The company has developed eco-friendly antimicrobial fill materials effective against harmful bacteria like Legionella and Staphylococcus aureus. Hydrophilic fill materials, enhanced with plasma surface modification technology, maximize heat exchange efficiency. The drift eliminator technology effectively removes drift to 0.001% of the circulating water volume. Low-noise cross-flow cooling towers and ultra-low noise fan development contribute to superior sound reduction technology.WetTypecoolingtowersfeaturein-housemanufacturingandapplicationcapabilitiesforhigh-performanceaxialfans.Thecompanyhasdevelopedeco-friendlyantimicrobialfillmaterialseffectiveagainstharmfulbacterialikeLegionellaandStaphylococcusaureus.Hydrophilicfillmaterials,enhancedwithplasmasurfacemodificationtechnology,maximizeheatexchangeefficiency.Thedrifteliminatortechnologyeffectivelyremovesdriftto0.001%ofthecirculatingwatervolume.Low-noisecross-flowcoolingtowersandultra-lownoisefandevelopmentcontributetosuperiorsoundreductiontechnology.
