Case Studies

YWCT was asked to replace an old cooling tower that was operating

under extremely harsh conditions in a steel mill in the Ukraine.

Circulating water inlet temperature was 65o C., and it was expected

to exit the cooling tower at 35^oC.

In order to stand up to the harsh conditions, YWCT designed a high

induced-draft counterflow cooling tower with no fill at all.

The distribution system was designed as an array of open channels that

enable cleaning easily.

Distribution was based on special no-clog pigtail nozzles.

The nozzles were installed at the outlet of 2m pipes to ensure the

correct pressure/head and optimal distribution.

The nozzles, channels, and pipes were all made of 316SS-grade

stainless steel.

The cooling tower was completed in less than two months.
