Cooling tower is used for heat dissipation equipment, widely used in various industrial and commercial fields. According to different use requirements, design features and structural forms, cooling towers can be divided into many types. The following are the main categories of cooling towers:

Classification of 1. by ventilation mode

1. Natural ventilation cooling tower: It relies on the thermal pressure formed by natural wind and temperature difference for ventilation, with simple structure and low operating cost.
2. Forced draft cooling tower: mechanical ventilation devices, such as fans, are used to enhance air flow and improve heat dissipation efficiency.

Classification of 2. by use

1. Industrial cooling tower: mainly used in the industrial field, dealing with a large amount of heat to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
2. Air-conditioning cooling tower: used in air-conditioning systems to provide a comfortable indoor environment for buildings.

Classification of 3. by structural form

1. counterflow cooling tower: air and water flow in opposite directions, high heat dissipation efficiency.
2. Cross-flow cooling tower: The direction of air and water flow is vertical, suitable for small industrial equipment.
3. Natural inlet cooling tower: the use of natural wind for heat dissipation, simple structure, easy maintenance.
4. Closed cooling tower: fully enclosed structure, suitable for places with high water quality requirements.

4. classified by material

1. Metal cooling tower: The main structure is made of metal materials, which is corrosion-resistant and has a long life.
2. glass steel cooling tower: glass steel material, light weight, strong corrosion resistance.
3. Concrete cooling tower: It is constructed of concrete and has a strong structure, which is suitable for large-scale cooling projects.

5. other special types

1. Spray cooling tower: improve heat dissipation efficiency by spraying, suitable for high temperature environment.
2. Hot water type cooling tower: specially used to deal with high temperature water source and reduce water temperature.
3. Hyperbolic cooling tower: the appearance is hyperbolic shape, beautiful and generous, high heat dissipation efficiency.

In short, different types of cooling towers have different characteristics and advantages, and are suitable for different places and needs. When choosing a cooling tower, it is necessary to consider comprehensively according to the actual situation and choose the most suitable type to achieve the best heat dissipation effect. I hope the above content can help you better understand the classification of cooling towers.
