Open Cooling Tower System
An open cooling tower system allows the cooling water to come into direct contact with external air within the tower. The hot water is sprayed onto fill or large surfaces, increasing evaporation, which cools the water.

How It Works:
Hot water is pumped to the top of the tower.
The water is sprayed over fill or distribution plates.
The water contacts the incoming air, causing a portion to evaporate and cool the remaining water.
The cooled water is recirculated back into the system.
Advantages:
Higher Cooling Efficiency: Provides superior cooling due to the evaporative process.
Lower Construction Cost: Less expensive to build compared to closed systems.
Widely Used: Commonly employed in large-scale industrial applications.
Disadvantages:
High Water Consumption: Requires significant water to replenish losses from evaporation.
Contamination Risk: Exposed to external air, allowing impurities or algae growth.
Increased Corrosion: Direct contact with air can lead to mineral deposits and corrosion.
