How To Pick A Cooling Tower: Crossflow Versus Counterflow

Cooling towers for HVAC systems come in either crossflow or counterflow configurations. This is defined by the way the water meets the heat transfer surface, more commonly known as the “fill” surface. Crossflow cooling towers distribute the hot water…

Most commercial HVAC professionals are probably already aware that there are two different types of cooling towers – crossflow and counterflow. While both operate on the principle of evaporative cooling by blowing air across water, the physical configuration of these two types of cooling towers differs quite a bit. Read more....
