Abstract

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.
