Air Coolers & Cooling Towers

Course Overview

Most industrial production processes need cooling waters to operate efficiently and safely. Refineries, steel mills, petrochemical manufacturing plants, electric utilities and paper mills all rely heavily on equipment or processes that require efficient temperature control. Cooling water systems control these temperatures by transferring heat from hot process fluids into cooling water. As this happens, the cooling water itself gets hot. Before it can be used again, it must either be cooled or replaced by a fresh supply of cool water.

Course Objective

Design and operation of cooling towers with water treatment – cleaning, disinfection and corrosion control.

Who Should Attend?

Mechanical and Electrical engineers working in the air conditioning and maintenance of different types of air conditioning, those are available in the market.
