What is the function of louvers in cooling tower?
As pointed out above, louvers are used to prevent certain conditions from happening. These include:
* It prevents sunlight from penetrating into the tower’s basin. An exposure to sunlight paves way for the growth of algae and even some bacterial species.
* It hinders water splash out, which means water is retained inside the collection tank.
* It helps avoid large materials or debris from entering the tower.
* Not easy to block from water pipe to spray nozzle make a good temperature cooling
* It minimizes costs of maintaining the tower like chemical expenses to kill algae.

Key features and benefits of the cooling tower louver
Flexible to different cooling towers
Our cooling tower inlet louver is designed in a way that it can fit to different types of cooling towers. It is flexible enough
to adapt to different structures.
The cooling tower louver can also be fitted to a newly built cooling tower. It can also be retrofitted to existing cooling
towers, saving you from having to make significant changes.
Functional design
The cooling tower louver design is not simply to give aesthetics to the cooling tower. Our cooling tower louvers have a design that functions as a barrier for sunlight entry, entering of large debris and to improve the airflow in the tower.
It is helpful when to secure an algae-free tower, water splash-out prevention and the overall capability of the tower to
function.
Smooth and glossy surface
One of the problems of cooling tower louver cleaning and maintenance is the build-up of scales.
To prevent this, our cooling tower louvers have a smooth and glossy surface that helps in preventing scaling. Thus, it can
minimize your expenses and effort for maintenance activities.
UV resistance
We have louvers that are also UV resistant. UV resistance is helpful in two ways.
First, it helps in preventing the growth of the algae to a certain extent.
Second, it also helps with the durability of the louver. Thereby, it extends the life of the product.
Corrosion Resistance
Aside from UV resistance, we also have products that are corrosion resistant. This feature likewise can give more life to the cooling tower louvers making it a cost efficient product for you.
