  • Apparatus and method for closed circuit cooling tower with corrugated metal tube elements
    Patent number: 6640575
    Abstract: A closed circuit cooling tower for evaporative fluid cooler applications such as water-cooled residential and commercial air conditioning, geothermal cooling supplementation, and process cooling applications. Corrugated metal tubes are used for heat transfer to permit mechanical de-fouling, such as flexing the tubes. The cooling tower may operate at high dissolved solids, or gray water may be used in order to reduce water consumption. The cooling tower is lightweight and modular to permit retrofitting of existing rooftop air conditioning systems so that efficient evaporative cooling may be used to lower energy costs.
