What Is A Cooling Tower?

Avatar for ResponsiveResponsive
What Is A Cooling Tower? A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which air and water are brought into direct contact with each other in order to reduce the water’s temperature. As this occurs, a small volume of water is evaporated, reducing the temperature of the water being circulated through the tower. Water, which has been heated by an industrial ... Read More
