Field Erected Cooling Towers: Scalable Solutions for Industrial Heat Rejection
A field erected cooling tower is a large-scale, custom-built structure designed to remove excess heat from industrial systems by transferring it to the atmosphere. These towers are assembled on-site to accommodate the specific needs of large facilities, such as power plants, petrochemical complexes, steel manufacturing, and refineries.
How Field Erected Cooling Towers Work
The core function of any cooling tower is to cool down water that has absorbed heat from an industrial process. In field erected cooling towers, hot water is distributed over fill material, which increases surface area and allows for efficient heat exchange. As air flows through the tower—either naturally or mechanically—it facilitates the evaporation of a small percentage of the water, thereby lowering the temperature of the remaining liquid.
