What is the efficiency of wet cooling towers?

Wet cooling towers are known for their high energy and thermal efficiency, making them an ideal solution for dissipating excess heat in air-conditioning systems and industrial processes. Thanks to the principle of evaporative cooling, these technologies can achieve very low cooling temperatures while using minimal electrical energy and water. In many applications, these lower temperatures allow the overall system to operate with reduced power consumption, directly contributing to energy savings and a lower environmental impact.

The efficiency of wet cooling towers is measured not only in terms of thermal performance but also through comparison with alternative systems. An analysis of compressor lift has shown that, under certain temperature conditions, water-cooled systems can achieve over 30% energy savings compared to dry systems. Additionally, these towers recycle more than 95% of the circulating water, minimizing actual consumption. They are compact, quiet, easy to maintain, and designed to ensure reliability and operational continuity.

In a context where the demand for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability is increasingly critical, wet cooling towers stand out as one of the most effective solutions for combining performance, savings, and environmental responsibility.
