Abstract
Description
Cooling towers are the major industrial part for heat rejection in petrochemical industry, oil refineries, chemical plants, thermal power plants and HVAC systems for cooling structures. The fan is a mechanically forced-draft used to extract the heat accumulated in the flowing cooling water components and the fan blade is a very
important part of the towers. Failure of fan blade leads to low productivity, high cost of replacement and maintenance of cooling tower fan blade in service. This paper presents a review on failure mode and material availability of cooling tower fan blade.
