VIRIDIS Cooling Tower Gearboxes
Overview
Cooling tower gearboxes are essential components of cooling towers. The role of the gearbox is to transmit power from the motor to the fan blades, which circulate the air and cool the water in the tower.
The gearbox helps to increase the rotational speed of the motor and transmit the power to the fan blades. It also allows for the fan speed to be adjusted to meet the cooling requirements of the tower. The gearbox is designed to operate under high torque loads, high temperature, and high humidity conditions, which are typical in cooling tower environments.
VIRIDIS cooling tower gearboxes are purposefully designed and are engineered to offer excellent durability, maximum energy savings, and compatibility with various cooling tower systems.
Our gearboxes are engineered to handle high torque loads, to operate reliably in high humidity environments that are ideal for achieving optimal cooling tower performance and ensuring long-lasting service life. Regular maintenance and inspection of our gearboxes can ensure consistent, efficient, and dependable cooling tower operation
Types of cooling tower gearboxes
