The design incorporates an innovative new heat transfer technology and a closed-circuit design that keeps the process fluid in a clean closed loop. One example of an innovation that emerged directly from specific customer input is the Marley LW Fluid Cooler, an induced-draft counterflow closed-circuit fluid cooler. Additionally, innovative ideas can emanate from industry organizations that monitor trends and regulations, such as the Cooling Technology Institute (CTI), Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). At SPX, product managers regularly collect voice-of-the-customer information, analyze it, and translate it into new concepts that can ultimately turn into product specifications.

It’s not always easy to interpret what the market is signalling. Innovative designs driven by voice of customer To address these needs and develop the next generation of innovative evaporative cooling tower products, SPX Cooling Technologies focuses on voice-of-the-customer input, trade organization activities, and validation of new concepts through product testing. These customer needs cut across industry lines, whether for light industrial or heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, or for power and process cooling operations. In this age of shrinking operational budgets, they also seek ways to reduce installation and maintenance costs.

Product managers and design engineers are charged with translating and analyzing it, testing concepts and ultimately turning them into viable products.Ĭooling tower customers want product innovations that can give them a greater amount of cooling for the energy used. Please have a look at this Bentley Communities wiki mentioned for further information regarding this topic.Voice-of-the-customer information is a vital part of new product development. Wind load on plate element Further Reading Demonstration of Wind Load on Cooling Tower in STAAD.Pro **Note: Wind definition is not needed in this case as the wind pressure is manually calculated depending on intensity vs height table along with the consideration of other wind load calculation parameter. In this model, pressure load in added in positive X and Z direction. Finally, we will add pressure loads to the plate element.Next, we will assign supports to the base co-ordinate of the model.A plate thickness of 450mm is added to this model. Secondly, we will add properties to the model.

We can even customize the dimension according to the requirement. Firstly, we will transfer the cooling tower prototype from the “Structure wizard”.Listed below are the solution to this problem. Wind load on Cooling tower – (Plate element) Solution Hence wind load can not be automatically generated in this case. The cooling tower prototype available within “Structure Wizard” in STAAD.pro consists of plate elements. This is because automatic generation of wind load can only on beam members forming closed panel. ProjectWise Explorer Virtuoso SubscriptionĪutomatic generation of Wind load on Cooling tower in STAAD.Pro is not possible.
