96-03: Variable Speed Fan Drives for Cooling Towers Energy EvaluationThe competitive nature of business today, coupled with incentives by utility companies is encouraging users to conserve energy by varying the speed of cooling tower fans in place of more traditional across the line cycling. There are several options available to exploit the benefits of the relationship between fan speed, cooling tower performance and fan horsepower. Variable frequency drives (VFD) are becoming the most popular alternative for

Many cooling tower designs now require special consideration to reduce their impact on the environment and facilitate site permitting
