The support structure of a fiberglass cooling tower generally falls into two types: a concrete frame and a steel frame.
1. Characteristics of the concrete frame support structure: long service life, stable structure and low overall vibration. It is mostly used on towers with a circulating water flow rate above 2000 m³/h, and where the water quality is aggressive to concrete, the entire tower frame can be given anti-corrosion treatment.
2. Characteristics of the steel frame support structure: a service life of more than 10 years and a higher vibration level than the concrete structure, but the anti-corrosion process can be adapted to the actual water quality, typically hot-dip galvanizing, FRP lining or epoxy coal tar paint. For the same tower type this structure costs more than the concrete cooling tower, because concrete construction and supply are generally the responsibility of the owner, yet the total installed cost is far lower than that of a concrete structure, which is why steel frame support is more popular with users than the concrete frame.
A third option is an FRP support structure, in which the whole tower is carried on pultruded FRP profiles. It is mainly used where the circulating water contains special media, but it is rarely seen, has poor structural stability and a high cost, so our company does not recommend this type of cooling tower.
