The KFCN Series Hybrid Closed Circuit Cooling Tower combines the benefits of dry cooling and evaporative cooling in a single high-efficiency system. Through a finned pre-cooling heat exchanger located above the evaporative section, process fluid is partially cooled before entering the wet cooling stage.

KCH Series Forced-flow Closed Cooling Tower
The KCH Series Parallel Flow Closed Circuit Cooling Tower is designed to remove process heat through evaporative cooling, combining spray water, airflow, and heat exchange coils to deliver highly efficient thermal performance.
Unlike conventional counterflow designs, the KCH Series features a parallel flow configuration in which ambient air and spray water move in the same direction across the coil surface. This operating principle maximizes coil wetting, significantly reducing scaling on the coil surface and making the unit especially suitable for high-temperature process fluids and applications with large cooling temperature differentials.

Product Description
Operating Principle
The process fluid — water, oil, or other process liquids — circulates inside the heat exchange coil, while the external coil surface is continuously wetted by recirculated spray water.
Heat is transferred through the coil wall to the spray water and surrounding air. Under fan-induced airflow, heat is discharged to the atmosphere through combined sensible and evaporative heat transfer.
As spray water recirculates, it passes through high-efficiency PVC fill media, where water temperature is reduced before re-entering the spray system. Since airflow and spray water move in the same direction, the coil surface remains uniformly wetted, minimizing dry spots and significantly reducing scaling formation.
This operating principle makes the KCH Series particularly suitable for cooling high-temperature process fluids around 60°C, or applications with relatively large cooling ranges such as 60°C to 35°C.

FAQ
-
Q1. What makes the KCH Series different from conventional closed circuit cooling towers?
The KCH Series utilizes a parallel flow cooling principle in which airflow and spray water move in the same direction across the coil surface. This design promotes continuous coil wetting and significantly reduces dry spots, making it highly effective in minimizing scale formation and maintaining long-term thermal performance.
-
Q2. Why is the KCH Series recommended for high-temperature process fluids?
When cooling process fluids at temperatures around 60°C or applications involving large temperature drops, scale formation can become a major concern. The parallel flow configuration keeps the coil surface uniformly wetted, reducing localized overheating and minimizing scaling risks. This makes the KCH Series particularly suitable for petrochemical, refinery, and process industry applications.
-
Q3. How does the KCH Series reduce scaling?
The combination of continuous coil wetting, optimized spray water distribution, and efficient heat transfer minimizes the formation of dry zones where mineral deposits typically accumulate. As a result, maintenance intervals can be extended and cooling performance remains more stable over the equipment lifecycle.
-
Q4. What industries commonly use the KCH Series?
Typical applications include petrochemical plants, natural gas processing facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, specialty chemicals, refinery utilities, and other industrial processes involving elevated fluid temperatures and challenging operating conditions.
-
Q5. Can the KCH Series be customized for specific project requirements?
Yes. Coil materials, structural materials, fan systems, control packages, corrosion protection levels, and thermal performance specifications can all be customized to meet project requirements, environmental conditions, and client standards.
