a Forced Draught Tower
Forward curved centrifugal fans on the air inlet will force/push the air in either a counter flow or cross flow pattern. Centrifugal fans use more power
but generate enough static pressure to overcome any problems associated with internally located cooling towers or those fitted with sound
dampers. These towers are quieter than others and are particularly useful for low noise applications. The cross flow tower offers the benefit of a lower
profile unit where aesthetics or plant room height may be restricted. On the other hand, the power input is approximately double that of an induced
draught tower.
