Closed Loop Cooling Towers

A closed-loop cooling tower, also known as a closed-circuit cooling tower, is designed to deliver efficient and contamination-free cooling for industrial process applications. By keeping the process fluid completely inside a sealed coil, this system prevents dust, dirt, buildup, and bacteria, which helps equipment last longer and maintain steady temperature performance.
Closed-loop cooling towers are ideal for industries requiring clean, reliable, and maintenance-friendly cooling solutions.

How a Closed-Loop Cooling Tower Works

A closed-loop tower uses a combination of airflow, evaporative cooling, and a sealed heat exchanger to remove heat from the process fluid.

Primary Loop (Closed Circuit)

  • The process fluid circulates through a sealed coil.
  • Heat is transferred through the coil surface without exposing the fluid to outside air.
  • No contamination, scaling, or evaporation occurs inside the process loop.

Secondary Loop (Open Circuit)

  • Water is sprayed over the coil.
  • An axial fan draws ambient air through the fill media and coil section.
  • The evaporative effect and airflow remove heat efficiently from the sprayed water and the coil.
  • The cooled process fluid exits the coil and returns to the system.
This combination ensures a consistent outlet temperature and protects the process fluid at all times.

Key Features of Closed-Loop Cooling Towers

Contamination-Free Cooling
Process fluid remains sealed inside a coil, preventing exposure to dust, chemicals, hard water, and airborne contaminants.
High Thermal Efficiency
The use of copper, galvanized steel, stainless steel, or Cu-Ni coils ensures superior heat transfer and stable thermal performance.
Low Water Consumption
The closed system significantly reduces evaporation, blowdown, and drift losses compared to open cooling towers.
Long Equipment Life
Clean coolant circulation protects pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, and chillers from corrosion, scaling, and fouling.
Low-Maintenance Design
No need for internal basin cleaning or chemical-heavy conditioning, resulting in lower downtime and reduced operating expenses.
Reliable Operation in Harsh Environments
Closed-loop cooling towers are ideal for environments that are dusty, sandy, corrosive, or chemically reactive, where open towers struggle to perform efficiently.

Applications of Closed-Loop Cooling Towers

Closed-loop cooling systems are widely used across industries such as:
  • HVAC cooling and process comfort applications
  • Plastic injection molding and extrusion machines
  • Air compressors and refrigeration systems
  • Induction furnaces and steel foundries
  • Data centers and electronic cooling
  • Pharmaceutical and food processing units
  • Chemical and petrochemical plants
  • Power plants and energy applications
  • Machine tools and CNC equipment
Closed-loop towers provide clean, consistent, and contamination-free cooling, which benefits these industries.
