Water is sprayed above the tubes and flows via gravity through the tube bundle into the collection basin.
Heat from the tube side stream is released to the cascading water.
Heat and mass transfer occurs from the cascading water to the air stream both traveling downward over the tubes. Most of the heat is transferred by evaporation.
The air stream is induced to turn 180° upward by the fan providing maximum free water removal (net result is minimal drift). |
