The Dunham Bush DBCTR Series is a premier line of high-efficiency, CTI (Cooling Technology Institute) Certified Crossflow Cooling Towers. Engineered explicitly for heavy commercial HVAC chiller loops and industrial process cooling, the DBCTR series features a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP) casing backed by a structural steel framework. By drawing air horizontally across descending water streams, this crossflow design significantly lowers pump head requirements, simplifies routine cleaning, and reduces energy consumption. It is the ultimate water-saving and electricity-optimizing heat rejection asset for modern garments (RMG) factories, textile processing complexes, corporate high-rises, and hospitals across Bangladesh.
The Dunham Bush DBCTR Crossflow Cooling Tower represents the pinnacle of commercial fluid heat rejection technology, tailored to withstand the brutal humidity and intense summer temperatures of Bangladesh. In centralized water-cooled chiller plants or heavy industrial setups, the cooling tower is the ultimate gatekeeper of overall system efficiency. If a cooling tower fails to reject heat properly, the head pressures inside the main chiller surge, resulting in sky-high electricity consumption or unexpected emergency system trips. The DBCTR series eliminates this vulnerability by ensuring independent, CTI-certified thermal performance, proving it rejects its exact rated capacity even during peak ambient summer heat domes.
The operational superiority of the DBCTR series centers on its specialized crossflow engineering layout. In this profile, air flows horizontally through the internal fill media while the hot condenser water falls vertically due to gravity. Because the water moves purely by gravity through a top-mounted, open distribution basin, the system completely removes the need for high-pressure enclosed spray nozzles. This dramatically decreases the internal hydraulic resistance, allowing engineers to install smaller water pumps with lower pump heads, which cuts daily facility electricity consumption.
To ensure long-term durability in high-salinity coastal areas and humid industrial hubs like Gazipur, Savar, and Chittagong, the outer enclosure is constructed from premium Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP). This heavy-duty material is completely immune to rust, scale formation, and chemical water treatment erosion. The structural weight is fully supported by a hot-dip galvanized steel skeleton, making the tower highly resistant to high wind loads during tropical storm seasons while maintaining a light enough footprint for safe rooftop installation.

Gravity-Driven Thermal Heat Rejection: Drops hot condenser water through an open gravity basin over structured PVC fill media, interacting with horizontal air to lower fluid temperatures efficiently.
Ultra-Low Drift Loss Water Conservation: Incorporates high-efficiency integrated drift eliminators that catch drifting moisture droplets and return them to the basin, dropping water drift loss to near-zero levels.
Aerodynamic Fan Acoustic Control: Utilizes broad-chord, low-rpm axial fans to pull huge air volumes quietly, keeping operating noise low for urban settings.
Modular Capital Scaling: Built on a modular, multi-cell frame that lets plant managers install a single tower cell now and tie additional cells together cleanly when facility cooling demands grow.
State-run properties—including public medical university hospitals, central administrative secretariats, public sector power plants, and telecom switching centers—rely on heavy-duty water-cooled chiller plants for continuous environmental control.
Ensures Critical Public Uptime: The CTI certification guarantees that hospital central air systems perform flawlessly during extreme 40°C+ summer heat waves without tripping.
Lowers Municipal Noise Pollution: The super-low noise profile makes the DBCTR series perfect for installation on hospital rooftops or near government offices without disturbing patients or workers.
For Bangladesh's massive Ready-Made Garment (RMG) textile factories, fabric dye plants, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, and high-rise commercial buildings, managing monthly utility water and electricity costs is vital.
Substantial Monthly Energy Savings: Because the gravity-fed design requires significantly lower water pump heads, monthly electricity bills for running the chiller's auxiliary pumps drop dramatically.
Streamlined Cleaning with Zero Downtime: The open top-basin crossflow design lets technicians inspect and clean the water channels safely while the tower is actively running, completely removing the need for costly factory maintenance shutdowns.

Q1: What does "CTI Certified" mean, and why is it important for my project in Bangladesh?
Ans: CTI stands for the Cooling Technology Institute. CTI certification means the cooling tower has been independently tested and proven to reject its exact rated thermal capacity. Many uncertified cooling towers fail to meet their claims during hot, humid summer days, causing chillers to overheat and consume excessive electricity. CTI certification ensures you get the exact performance you paid for.
Q2: How does a Crossflow cooling tower save more energy than a Counterflow tower?
Ans: In a crossflow tower (DBCTR), water drops via simple gravity through an open top basin instead of being forced through high-pressure spray nozzles like in a counterflow tower. Because the water piping doesn't face nozzle resistance, the main condenser pumps don't have to work as hard. This allows you to use a lower-horsepower pump motor, saving significant electricity over time.
Q3: Can the DBCTR tower handle hard water or water with high particulate matter?
Ans: Yes. The open gravity-basin design makes it highly resistant to clogging compared to counterflow spray systems. If dust or scale accumulates in the top basin, maintenance crews can easily sweep it out while the unit is operating. For environments with high particulate loads, we can also customize the tower with wider-spaced PVC fill sheets.
Q4: What routine maintenance is required for the Dunham Bush DBCTR series?
Ans: Routine maintenance is straightforward thanks to the spacious interior access doors. Regular tasks include checking fan belt tension, lubricating the fan shaft bearings, sweeping any dust or silt out of the top open hot-water basin, and monitoring the water treatment dosing system to prevent algae growth on the PVC fills.
