Question:

what is the best to have cooling tower or heat exchanger to cool water in a cast house for aluminium ingots.?

in hot area like the middle east we plan to build a cast house to solidify the molten aluminium and cast into ingots ... i would like to know the best technology to cool the process water cooling towers or heat exchanger??

Answer:

I worked for DUBALl In Dubai UAE a number of years ago building a new casthouse and increasing the size of their cooling tower system Heat exchangers would have to be very large due to the amount of water need to cool the systems and due to the ambient temperature in Dubai during the summer months we only go about 5-10Centigrade DeltaT so we had to have a very large reservoir of water and additional cooling towers installed by Marley Cooling Tower Specialists. You need to know what temperature the hydraulic systems run at under normal conditions i.e. what they have been desinged to operate under and then add the Dubai factor increasing the operating temperature by a factor equal t the difference between the equipment built in Germany or Austria. Gautchi and Mekatherm and Hertwich supplied the euipment for theplant If you need any more you can email me
