Frequently Asked Questions: Global Sourcing & Technical Integration

Key technical, commercial, and operational queries answered by our senior engineering division.

Why choose an Induced Draft configuration over a Forced Draft cooling tower design?
Induced draft cooling towers locate the axial fan system at the top discharge stack, drawing air across the heat exchange fill media. This creates uniform internal air velocity profiles and discharges saturated hot vapor plumes upward at high velocities (3–5 m/s). This virtually eliminates hot air recirculation, an issue common in forced draft towers where low-velocity exhaust can be re-ingested into base-mounted fans, reducing thermal efficiency.
How does Fengdun handle custom ODM structural modifications for high-wind or coastal sites?
For coastal, corrosive, or typhoon-prone regions, our ODM service modifies the structure to use heavy-gauge pultruded fiberglass (FRP) with UV-inhibiting vinylester resins, or HDG steel exceeding 85 microns zinc coating thickness. Hardware is upgraded to marine-grade 316 stainless steel, and structural bracing is recalculated to withstand wind shears up to 200 km/h in accordance with ASCE 7-16 structural codes.
What data parameters are strictly needed to calculate accurate cooling tower sizing?
Precise thermodynamic sizing requires five primary parameters: (1) Total circulating water flow rate (m³/h or GPM); (2) Hot water inlet temperature (T1); (3) Desired cold water outlet temperature (T2); (4) Ambient design wet-bulb temperature (Twb) at site; and (5) Local electrical supply characteristics (Voltage/Frequency/Phase) along with site sound emission limits.
What are the lead times for custom ODM cooling towers and how are they shipped?
Standard modular induced draft units ship within 20 to 30 working days following final approval of general arrangement (GA) drawings. Units can be supplied fully assembled for modular drop-in placement, or knocked down (CKD/SKD) in standard ISO 40ft High Cube containers to reduce ocean shipping costs for major infrastructure installations.
Can Fengdun provide third-party factory inspection prior to balance payment and release?
Yes. We routinely host third-party verification bodies including SGS, Bureau Veritas (BV), Intertek, and TÜV Rheinland at our 12,000 m² Dezhou production facility. Pre-shipment inspections cover structural dimension checks, dynamic fan balancing, hydrostatic basin testing, coating thickness verification, and electrical motor run tests.
