Cooling towers of the future

Using pilot-scale cooling towers as an alternative to dry coolers

Funded Project: ELFORSK

The project designs a pilot-scale cooling tower as an alternative to dry coolers. The new type of cooling tower uses rainwater instead of tap water and will by applying new technology reduce the risk of Legionellosis. Compared to dry coolers, cooling towers hold significant energy savings potential, calculated nationally at 71 TJ.
