Mechanical draft cooling tower

A mechanical draft cooling tower is a device used in power plants and industrial facilities to remove excess heat from machinery and processes. It works by creating airflow—either fans (mechanical draft) or natural movement—that pulls hot water through fill media, increasing its surface area. As air passes over the water, heat is transferred from the water to the air, cooling the water before it’s recirculated. Fans ensure consistent airflow, making the cooling process efficient regardless of outdoor conditions. This system helps maintain optimal operating temperatures while conserving water and energy.
