COOLING TOWER DRIVE SHAFTS

Induced Draft Cooling Tower Drive Systems Are Usually Designed With A Motor, Gearbox And Fan Located At The Top Of The Cooling Tower.

The Atmosphere Inside The Tower Is Hot And Humid. Placing A Motor Inside The Tower Under This Condition Can Quickly Deteriorate Its Performance. Using A Floating Shaft Coupling, The Motor Is Located On The Outside Of The Stack And Away From The Corrosive Airflow. It Spans The Gap Between Motor And Gearbox Reducer Shaft Through Various Coupling Designs To Meet Cooling Tower Application.

Cooling Tower Have An External Electric Motor Which Is Connected To The Bevel Gear Located At The Centre Of The Cooling Tower By Long Drive Shaft

It Is Common Practice To Produce Such Connecting Shaft From Composite Tubes (Either Glass Or Carbon Fiber) And To Connect Them By Torsionally Stiff But Flexible Element Using A Double Cardanic System The Motor And Gear Shafts.
