DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COUNTER FLOW TYPE AND CROSS FLOW TYPE COOLING TOWER:

COUNTER FLOW TYPE COOLING TOWER:

* Air flow is directly opposite to water flow
* Counter flow type require large area for construction
* No power requirement for fan operation
* Low maintenance
* No corrosion problem
* Material used reinforced concrete & steel

CROSS FLOW TYPE COOLING TOWER:

* Air flow is directly perpendicular to water flow
* Cross flow type requires minimum area for construction
* Power requirement must for exhaust fan
* Proper maintenance
* Corrosion occurs
* Material used reinforced plastic & steel
