Natural draft and forced draft cooling systems.

        Natural draft and forced draft cooling systems


 Natural draft and forced draft cooling systems are two types of cooling systems that are commonly used in industrial and power plants. Both systems are used to remove excess heat from equipment and processes, but they differ in the way that air is circulated.


 Natural Draft Cooling System:

                                                    A natural draft cooling system uses the natural convection currents created by the difference in temperature between the hot exhaust gases and the surrounding atmosphere to circulate air through the cooling system. The warm air rises, and the cooler air is drawn in from below to replace it. The cooling tower is typically tall and has a large diameter, which allows for maximum air circulation. This type of cooling system is less energy-efficient than forced draft cooling but is less expensive to operate.










 Forced Draft Cooling System:

                                        A forced draft cooling system uses fans or blowers to force air through the cooling system. The fans or blowers create a positive pressure that forces the air to move through the system. The cooling tower is typically smaller in diameter and has a taller height than a natural draft cooling tower. This type of cooling system is more energy-efficient than natural draft cooling but is more expensive to operate. The choice between natural draft and forced draft cooling systems depends on several factors, including the size of the system, the ambient conditions, and the required efficiency. Natural draft cooling systems are typically used in smaller systems, while forced draft cooling systems are used in larger industrial and power plant applications. The type of cooling system used will have a significant impact on the energy consumption and operating costs of the plant.
