AI Technical Summary
Existing counterflow wet cooling towers rely on continuous fan rotation during operation, resulting in high energy consumption and low cooling efficiency.
A booster pump drives the driven impeller to rotate, which in turn drives the cooling fan blades to rotate via a drive bevel gear. Combined with the cooling tower packing, this increases the contact area and time between water and air, achieving highly efficient cooling without the need for additional energy.
Significantly reduces energy consumption, lowers operating costs, and improves cooling efficiency, enabling rapid cooling.
