Drift
losses are not more than 0.001%
|
The
drift losses over 1%
|
Compact in design
|
This
type of Cooling Tower need Much more space for installation
|
These
Cooling Tower are totally algae free
|
Algae
formation is a continuos problem in these type of
Cooling Tower. |
FRP
structure is more durable than the wooden one
|
The
wooden structure is less durable
|
Only
four small concrete blocks have to be made for installing
FRP type Cooling Tower
|
A
big concrete tank needs to be constructed involving
more cost, time and labour. |
|
Being light in weight these Cooling towers can be
installed on rooftops also thus saving space. |
Since
these Cooling Tower are extremely heavy, they have
to be installed on ground only. |
| The
sprinkler requires negligible pressure header for
its rotation |
The
nozzles consume a significant amount of pressure head,
which result in pressure Drop |
| Counter
Flow Design consumes 25% less Electricity than cross
flow designs |
Cross
flow design is not energy efficient. |
| No
ban for using FRP material |
Honorable
Supreme Court of India has banned use of forest wood
for Cooling Towers. |
