Cooling towers are a common sight at many industrial plants, commercial buildings, and public buildings. Skyscrapers, hospitals, office buildings, power stations, oil and gas plants, refineries, all need cooling towers. Irrespective of what engineering industry you work in, having a basic understanding of cooling towers will be relevant.

In this course, you will learn:

  • Cooling tower theory (sensible and latent heat etc.).

  • Common cooling tower nomenclature, components and terminology.

  • Common types of cooling tower (natural, forced and induced).

  • Common cooling tower designs (wet, dry, cross-flow, counter-flow, mechanical, natural, direct, indirect).

  • How cooling towers work (evaporative cooling etc.).

  • Common cooling tower and HVAC fan designs (axial, cross-flow, centrifugal etc.).

  • Water properties and their importance (pH, temperature etc.).

  • Common cooling tower concerns and problems (corrosion, scale, bacterial growth etc.).

  • Common methods used to address these concerns and problems (chemical treatment etc.).

  • Cooling tower protection (vibration, earthquake etc.).

The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning cooling tower knowledge. Even if you already have some background engineering knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher. Whatever your level of understanding, or engineering background (mechanical engineering, HVAC, chemical engineering, oil & gas industry, power engineering, etc.), this course will provide you with a strong understanding of cooling towers and their details.

Who should attend this course

  • This course is designed for industry professionals.

  • This course is beneficial for anyone in the Oil & Gas, HVAC, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or power engineering industries.

Prerequisites: 

  • An engineering background is beneficial, but is not mandatory.

Level: Foundation

Access to the course. 
After your purchase is confirmed you receive an account to the EngineeringTrainer online learning portal, where you find the course in your dashboard. After opening the course you will be guided step-by-step through the different modules. You receive 1-year unlimited access to the course. This allows you to perform modules again if this is beneficial for your work projects.

The course is mainly based on video content: video lectures and interactve 3D model video demonstrations. The course is packed with 2D images, 2D animations and 3D animations. Interactive 3D models are used extensively to show you exactly how valves and their components work. English subtitles are available and videos can be viewed as many times as desired. The video lectures help you to grasp the important technical concepts.

This course is self-paced and is not subject to specific dates. The course contains 9 modules with a total of 4 hours of content which can be performed at your own pace. A Personal Certificate will be provided to you if you finish the course within the first month after starting. This incentive will motivate you to perform the course quickly thereby improving your learning curve.

You receive 1-year unlimited access to all 9 modules. This allows you to perform modules again whenever you want to refresh knowledge for your daily work projects.

A personal digital certificate will be made available to participants based on the following requirement:

  • finish the course within the first month after starting. This incentive will motivate you to perform the course quickly thereby improving your learning curve.
