Industrial Cooling Towers

Industrial cooling towers are essential for managing heat in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing and power generation. At Franklin Hodge, we focus on creating high-quality cooling towers that provide energy efficiency, long-lasting durability, and excellent thermal performance.  

With years of experience, Carter Environmental Cooling Towers—now a division of Franklin Hodge Industries— provides innovative water-cooling solutions designed for clients in the UK and around the world.  Our cooling towers are designed and manufactured in our Birmingham facility, adhering to the strictest industry standards. 

Types of Industrial Cooling Towers 

Forced Draught Cooling Towers 

Forced draught cooling towers utilise centrifugal or axial fans located at the base to move air through the system. These towers ensure consistent cooling while also lowering energy usage and operational expenses. 

Carter BAL Series – Centrifugal Fan 

The BAL Series is a forced-draft, counterflow cooling tower that features belt-driven centrifugal fans. It comes in both open and closed-circuit configurations and accommodates water flow rates ranging from 6 to 600 cubic meters per hour. 

Carter SAN Series – Axial Fan 

The SAN Series is engineered for high efficiency and reliability, employing direct-drive axial fans to deliver effective cooling with minimal maintenance. This system is available in both single and multi-cell units. 

Induced Draught Cooling Towers 

Induced draught cooling towers use axial fans mounted at the top to pull air through the system, enhancing efficiency and optimising heat transfer.

Carter BUC Series – Axial Fan 

The BUC Series is an induced-draft, counterflow cooling tower with direct-drive duct axial fans. It offers flexibility for various industrial applications with open and closed-circuit variants.

Dry Air Blast Coolers 

For industries requiring low-maintenance and energy-efficient cooling, our Carter ABC and WABC Series dry air blast coolers provide an effective solution. These closed-circuit cooling systems feature copper or stainless-steel coils with advanced adiabatic cooling options for improved performance.
