At Mechartes, we specialize in using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, Acoustic Analysis, and Structural Analysis to optimize cooling tower performance. Insufficient intake of fresh air and improper spacing can lead to hot air recirculation, impacting efficiency and increasing inlet Wet bulb temperatures.
Our CFD simulations enable early-stage evaluation and mitigation of these issues, ensuring efficient design and construction stages. We accurately model cooling towers and nearby structures, analyzing velocity, Dry and Wet bulb temperatures, and Relative Humidity profiles under specific ambient and wind conditions.
We also address health and safety concerns, such as the dispersion of exhaust plumes to mitigate risks associated with Legionella bacteria, aligning with municipal regulations. Our expertise extends to acoustic analysis, ensuring compliance with ASHRAE, AHRI370, BS8233, and LEED standards, with recommendations for acoustic louvers and sound attenuators.
Mechartes excels in structural analysis of cooling towers and piping networks, employing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for operating, seismic, and wind conditions adhering to ASCE 7, AISC 360, ACI 318, IBC, Eurocode 1 standards
At Mechartes, we deliver comprehensive, validated solutions that eliminate design issues, enhance performance, and ensure optimal cooling tower operation.
