Abstract
This invention relates to a counter flow type of cooling tower generating low grade of noise, which includes: a body wherein an external air inhalation hole is formed in the lower portion and a discharge hole is formed in the upper portion; a fan that is provided in the body and absorbs external air into the body through an inhalation hole and discharges the external air to the discharge hole; an spraying nozzle that sprays coolant; an eliminator that is provided above the spraying nozzle and prevents air and water from scattering; a filler that is provided below the spraying nozzle; and a collection tank collecting the coolant that passes the filler and drops, wherein a space portion is formed between the filler and the collection tank, and the space portion formed between the filler and the collection tank further includes a noise generation restraining portion consisting of at least one noise generation restraining unit. According to the invention, the noise that occurs when the coolant directly drops into the collection tank is reduced, the scattering of the coolant by incoming air may be prevented, the loss of pressure by the noise generation restraining portion is minimized, the amount of lost coolant and air may be reduced, and the cooling efficiency increases because the noise generation restraining portion maximizes the cooling effect.
