Gearbox

Gearbox are used as speed reducers to slow the rotational speed from the incoming motor to the outgoing fan of a cooling tower. Companies that operate high capacity production plants such as those in the chemical process and power industries require cooling towers with large amounts of heat-rejection capacity

Gearbox is a critical component of a cooling tower. Powered by an AC motor, the gearbox drives the large rotating fan blades that cool the water. Operating under variable load conditions, the gearbox is subject to excessive and prolonged stresses that cause degradation.

Gearbox is a specialized cooling system designed to regulate the temperature of gearboxes in industrial machinery. Gearboxes generate significant heat during operation, and if this heat is not managed effectively, it can lead to inefficiencies and equipment failure. The gearbox cooling tower works by circulating cooling fluid through the system to absorb excess heat. As the fluid flows through the cooling tower, it is cooled by air, ensuring that the gearbox operates within optimal temperature ranges.
