Cooling Tower

The ICT Advantage

A wet cooling tower rejects heat from an open-loop circulating water system to the atmosphere primarily through evaporative cooling. ICT is North Americas market leader in customized wet cooling solutions. We offer the highest quality wet cooling products, custom tailored to the requirements of each application. Our Team of Engineers, utilizes our in-house developed software to optimize wet cooling solutions to drive efficiency in the cooling industry.

More Information

Hot water from the process enters the cooling tower and is distributed uniformly over a fill media, where it flows downward while air is drawn through the fill media by natural or mechanical draft. As the air contacts the warm water, heat is transferred from the water to the air through evaporation. This evaporation removes latent heat from the remaining water, reducing its temperature. The cooled water then collects in the cold-water basin at the bottom of the tower and is pumped back to the process for reuse, while makeup water is added to replace losses due to evaporation, drift, and blowdown.
