General Description

The ACS-102 is a wet cooling tower system designed to replicate industrial cooling processes using forced draft ventilation. This complete educational unit enables detailed study of thermal and air-water interactions within a cooling column.

The system includes a full water circuit with pump, filter, valve, and spray nozzle, along with a radial fan and a three-stage electric heater with thermostat control.
