A large device mounted on a roof and consisting of several baffles over which water is pumped in order to reduce its temperature.

Tower-like concrete construction for closed-circuit cooling. (See also 'wet cooling tower', 'dry cooling tower')

structure in a nuclear power plant where steam is cooled until it turns back into water.

A heat exchanger designed to aid in the cooling of water that was used to cool exhaust steam exiting the turbines of a power plant. Cooling towers transfer exhaust heat into the air instead of into a body of water.

A large device mounted on roofs, consisting of many baffles over which water is pumped in order to reduce its temperature.

A water conservation device used to supply water for cooling condensers.

Large tower used to transfer the heat in cooling water from a power or industrial plant to the atmosphere either by direct evaporation or by convection and conduction.

An enclosed tower that cools water by evaporating a small percentage of it into a moving stream of air.

A structure for cooling liquid, usually water bybringing it in to contact with an airstream where a small proportion of the liquid/water evaporates.

A structure used to vent steam produced by a nuclear power plant.

a device for cooling water through a combination of sensing and evaporative heat transfer. Water passes over a number a wooden or plastic racks known as “fill”, that act as a heat-transfer surface. [..]

A heat rejection method that transfers heat energy to the outside atmosphere via the evaporation of water. In a cooling tower, water is sprayed onto a high surface-area packing material as large volumes of air are drawn across through the structure. The net effect of this process is that a small portion of the water circulated through the cooling t [..]

Device which dissipates the heat from water-cooled systems by spraying the water through streams of rapidly moving air.

A structure that helps remove heat from water used as a coolant; e.g., in electric power generating plants.

A structure that helps remove heat from water used as a coolant; e.g., in electric power generating plants.

Device which dissipates the heat from water-cooled systems by spraying the water through streams of rapidly moving air.

An apparatus through which warm water is discharged against an air stream; in doing so part of the water is evaporated to saturate the air and this cools the water. The cooler water is usually pumped to a heat exchanger to be reheated and recycled through the tower.

A cooling tower is an apparatus through which warm water is discharged against an air stream; in doing so part of the water is evaporated to saturate the air and this cools the water.

Device, which cools water by water evaporation in air. Water is cooled to wet bulb temperature of air.

Heat removal devices used to transfer process waste heat to the atmosphere.

Device for lowering the temperature of water by evaporative cooling, in which water is showered through a space through which outside air circulates. A portion of the water evaporates, its latent heat [..]
