The fan assisted natural draft cooling tower (FAND) combines the advantages of the natural draft cooling tower and the mechanical draft cooling tower.
It becomes the best available technology when :
- Locations with limited plot plan
- Overall height is limited
- Important heat load
ADVANTAGES VS. CELLS
- Compact arrangement
- Power saving due to natural draft
- No recirculation
- Always a good alignment considering wind directions
- Cooling by natural draft in case of electricity shortage
ADVANTAGES VS. NATURAL DRAFT CT
- Reduced height
- Better cooling characteristics during the summer season
- Higher flexibility
