The ZL-30T FRP counter flow cooling tower delivers 105.51 kW heat rejection at 30 refrigeration tons with 23.4 m3/h water flow rate. The following sections detail engineering specifications, operational considerations, and application-specific integration guidance for the ZL-30T.
The ZL-30T cooling tower is typically integrated into HVAC systems as the condenser water cooling source for water-cooled chillers. The 23.4 m3/h flow rate matches the condenser water requirement of a 35 kW chiller operating at standard 5°C condenser water range. System integration includes: chilled water pump (typically sized 1.2x flow rate for safety margin), condenser water pump (matching tower flow), plate heat exchanger or direct integration, expansion tank, chemical water treatment system, and BMS interface for monitoring. The ZL-30T's 105.51 kW heat rejection capacity supports approximately 3 RT of chiller capacity when paired with a standard efficiency chiller (COP 4.5). For high-efficiency chillers (COP 6.0+), the ZL-30T can support 2 RT due to reduced condenser heat load.
The ZL-30T cooling tower requires a 380V 3-phase 50 Hz power supply for the 0.75 kW fan motor, with IP55 Class F insulation suitable for outdoor installation. Power supply sizing: motor full load current approximately 1.5 A at 380V, recommended breaker sizing 2.25 A, and wire gauge minimum 2.5 mm² copper for runs under 30 meters. For sites with 480V 3-phase 60 Hz supply (North America), a step-down transformer is required. Variable frequency drive (VFD) compatibility is standard for the 0.75 kW motor, enabling 30-80% energy savings during shoulder seasons. VFD installation requires EMI filter to comply with EMC directives and motor bearing insulation to prevent shaft current damage. Soft starter is recommended for grid-connected installations to limit inrush current.
Foundation design for the ZL-30T cooling tower requires careful consideration of operating weight, wind load, and seismic requirements. Concrete pad specifications: minimum 100mm thick reinforced concrete pad with #4 rebar at 300mm centers, surface area 2255mm × 2255mm square (approximately 2.65 kg/m² distributed load). Anchor bolt specifications: M12 stainless steel expansion anchors at 600mm centers, embedded 80mm into concrete. For seismic zones 3 and 4, additional seismic tie-down points are required per ASCE 7. Wind load considerations: at 50 m/s design wind speed, the ZL-30T requires additional guy wire bracing for towers installed above 20 meters elevation. Foundation inspection and engineer sign-off required before tower installation.
Standard project schedule for ZL-30T cooling tower installation: week 1-2: order placement and production scheduling; week 3-5: factory production and quality testing; week 6-7: shipping transit from Dongguan to project site; week 8: site delivery and crane installation; week 9: piping and electrical connections; week 10: water fill, chemical treatment, and commissioning; week 11: performance verification and operator training. Total project duration: 11 weeks from order to operational handover. For expedited orders, the schedule can be compressed to 7 weeks with expedited production and air freight shipping, at additional cost of 15-20% of tower price. Critical path items: crane availability and site access (typically book 4 weeks in advance), water treatment chemical procurement, and certified commissioning technician scheduling.

Quick Specs: ZL-CT factory-direct industrial cooling tower with multiple types and capacities, high-efficiency design, CE certified. Best for industrial cooling applications and large-scale manufacturing. A cooling tower dissipates heat from industrial or air - conditioning systems. Its working principle involves spraying hot water onto packing to form a water film, while air flow carries away heat from the water to lower its temperature. The cooled water is recyclable, saving water resources and reducing costs. There are various types, such as open and closed cooling towers. Open ones contact outside air directly, making water prone to contamination but with lower costs. Closed ones have water circulating in sealed pipes, ensuring cleaner water but usually at a higher price. Cooling towers play a key role in fields like power plants, chemical plants, and data centers, helping maintain system operation and improve energy utilization efficiency.
