Industrial Cooling Systems

Effective temperature control is essential to keeping industrial processes efficient and reliable. Franklin Hodge, in partnership with Carter Environmental, offers advanced water-cooling systems designed to deliver consistent performance across demanding applications. 

Manufactured in the UK, our cooling towers and dry air blast coolers combine decades of engineering expertise with modern design innovation. Every system is built to prioritise efficiency, durability, and ease of maintenance, helping businesses reduce energy use while maintaining optimal cooling capacity. 

What Types of Cooling Systems Do We Offer? 

We design and manufacture a wide range of cooling systems to suit different site requirements and performance needs. Each system can be configured for single or multi-cell use, with both open and closed-circuit options available. 

Forced Draught Cooling Towers: Our Carter BAL Series towers use a counterflow design with belt-driven centrifugal fans positioned at the base. This forced-draught configuration ensures a reliable flow of air through the system while keeping maintenance simple and access easy. 

Induced Draught Cooling Towers: The Carter BUC Series towers feature top-mounted direct-drive axial fans that draw air upwards through the system. This design offers high efficiency, quiet operation, and low energy consumption, making it ideal for large-scale industrial installations. 

Forced Draught Axial Fan Towers: The Carter SAN Series is designed for compact installations. With direct-drive axial fans positioned at the base, this series provides powerful airflow in a smaller footprint, perfect where space is limited. 

Dry Air Blast Coolers: The Carter ABC and WABC Series use either copper or stainless-steel coils and can be fitted with adiabatic packages to pre-cool the incoming air. These systems deliver excellent performance even in higher ambient conditions, offering lower outlet temperatures and reduced water use. 

How Do Our Cooling Towers Support Operational Efficiency? 

All Franklin Hodge cooling systems are built with efficiency in mind. Their counterflow design and high-quality components ensure effective heat exchange while minimising energy consumption. Access panels, modular layouts, and straightforward mechanical designs make servicing simple, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. 

By combining intelligent engineering with robust materials, our cooling towers help improve long-term reliability and reduce lifecycle costs for operators across industries. 

Do We Offer Maintenance and Refurbishment Services? 

Yes. We don’t just manufacture cooling systems; we help you maintain them for years to come. Our team provides complete servicing and refurbishment solutions, using the same expertise that goes into designing and building each unit. 

Servicing: Our cooling towers are known for their easy access, which makes inspections and servicing quick and cost-effective. Routine checks help maintain efficiency and extend system lifespan. 

Refurbishment: We specialise in upgrading and restoring existing cooling towers using advanced materials and repair techniques. Whether you’re looking to improve performance or extend the life of your system, our refurbishment service provides a practical and sustainable solution. 

Spare Parts: As the original equipment manufacturer, we supply OEM spare parts for all cooling systems we’ve produced, including units dating back to the 1980s. Many parts are stocked at our UK factory and dispatched worldwide.
