High efficient FRP cooling tower fan

The Cooling tower is a type of heat exchanger it transfers process waste heat to the atmosphere. Circulating water used to reject heat by the airflow generated by the cooling tower fan.
At Maya, we manufacture a broad range of FRP cooling tower fans. These fans are energy-efficient and achieve up to 40% power saving.

The cooling tower fan is key-equipment in the tower. It must have the following properties-

  • High Performance: Cooling tower fan must deliver high performance in its full lifetime.
  • Reliability: Entire process in the plants depend on the cooling tower. So in the case of CT fan failure, plant operation stops. Thus cooling tower fan must have the highest reliability.
  • Fan Constructions: Cooling tower fans must have robust construction as it has to run 24 hr 365 days.
  • Fan Efficiency: These cooling tower fans are high energy consumption equipment. So to save energy, the fan must have the highest-efficiency.

We know the operating environment of the cooling tower fan is full of corrosion. It proves fibre-reinforced plastic “FRP” as the best material for cooling tower fans. FRP is light in weight and high in strength as well as it is having excellent resistance to corrosion. So it must be a primary focus to use FRP fan for high efficiency.
