Industrial Cooling Towers for Factories and Commercial Facilities
AKD Cooling Towers manufactures, supplies, installs and maintains FRP cooling towers across Pakistan, including bottle-type, rectangular, crossflow and counterflow configurations selected according to cooling load and site conditions.
How a Cooling Tower Works
A cooling tower removes heat from circulating water through evaporative cooling. Warm water is distributed over the fill media while air moves through the tower, causing a small portion of the water to evaporate and carry heat away. The cooled water is then returned to the industrial process or cooling system.
How to Select the Right Cooling Tower
The right cooling tower depends on heat load, water-flow rate, water quality, local wet-bulb temperature, available installation space and maintenance access. AKD Cooling Towers reviews these factors before recommending a suitable tower type and capacity.
Site Footprint & Access
Available installation space, airflow clearance, structural support and access for installation and future maintenance should be considered before selecting the tower configuration.
Water Quality
Water chemistry, TDS, scaling and fouling risk can influence fill-media selection, construction materials, blowdown requirements and maintenance planning.
Heat Load & Water Flow
Required cooling capacity, circulating water-flow rate, hot-water temperature, target cold-water temperature and local wet-bulb conditions help determine cooling tower size and thermal performance.
Built From Serviceable Industrial Components
Fan & Drive
Fan blades, motors and gearboxes move air through the cooling tower and directly affect airflow, vibration and operating performance.
Water Distribution
Spray nozzles, rotary sprinklers, headers and distribution pipes spread hot water evenly over the fill media.
Fill Media
PVC film or splash fill increases water-to-air contact area, helping improve heat transfer inside the cooling tower.
Drift Eliminators & Louvers
Drift eliminators help reduce water droplets carried out with the exhaust air, while louvers help control air entry and minimise splash-out from the cooling tower.
FRP Structure & Basin
FRP body panels and the cold-water basin provide corrosion-resistant enclosure and water collection for suitable cooling tower designs.
Structural Supports & Fasteners
Fill supports, structural members, ladders and fastening hardware help secure internal components and provide access for inspection and maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you select the right cooling tower type?
The right cooling tower type depends on cooling load, water-flow rate, local wet-bulb temperature, water quality, available space, airflow conditions and maintenance access. AKD Cooling Towers reviews these factors before recommending a bottle-type, rectangular, crossflow or counterflow configuration..

What information is required to calculate cooling tower capacity?
Cooling tower capacity calculation requires the water-flow rate, hot-water temperature, required cold-water temperature and local wet-bulb temperature. Engineers also review approach temperature, range temperature, operating hours, water quality, airflow conditions and site restrictions.
What is the difference between bottle-type and rectangular cooling towers?
Bottle-type cooling towers are compact FRP units that are often suitable where installation space is limited. Rectangular cooling towers provide a larger modular layout that can support higher water-flow rates and different access requirements. Selection depends on cooling duty, available space, airflow and maintenance needs.
What is involved in cooling tower installation?
Cooling tower installation normally includes foundation or support checking, equipment placement, piping connection, electrical coordination, fan and motor inspection, water-distribution checks, basin review, testing and commissioning.
Which cooling tower parts commonly require replacement?
Common replacement parts include PVC fill media, spray nozzles, rotary sprinklers, drift eliminators, fans, fan blades, electric motors, gearboxes, shafts, bearings, float valves, FRP body panels and water-distribution components. Correct dimensions and specifications should be confirmed before replacement.
Which locations does AKD serve?
AKD Cooling Towers is based in Lahore. Cooling tower projects, technical support and site visits are arranged according to the project location, scope and team availability. Contact our team with your city and project requirements to confirm service availability.
How does high TDS affect cooling tower performance?
High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) can increase scaling, fouling and corrosion in cooling tower systems, reducing heat-transfer efficiency and restricting water flow. Proper blowdown, water treatment and routine inspection help control TDS and protect cooling tower components.
What affects the price of an industrial cooling tower in Pakistan?
Cooling tower pricing depends on required capacity, tower type, construction material, fan and motor specifications, fill media, water conditions, controls, transportation, installation and commissioning requirements. AKD Cooling Towers reviews the technical and site requirements before preparing a quotation.
What is the difference between crossflow and counterflow cooling towers?
In a crossflow cooling tower, air moves horizontally across the falling water, which can provide easier access to the water-distribution system. In a counterflow tower, air moves upward against the downward water flow, allowing a more compact arrangement. The suitable configuration depends on capacity, site layout, airflow and maintenance requirements.
Cooling tower sizing typically requires water-flow rate, hot-water temperature, required cold-water temperature and local wet-bulb temperature. Engineers may also consider operating hours, water quality, approach temperature, airflow conditions and site restrictions.
