1 |
The air flows naturally without fan through tower and provides required cooling
|
Fan is located at the top of the tower and enters the side of the tower.
|
2 |
The air circulation through the tower depends on wind velocity.
|
The air circulation through the tower depends on fan speed.

|
4 |
It requires large space for same capacity.
|
It requires less space for same capacity.
|
5 |
No power requires due to absence of fan.
|
Fan requires more power as it handles hot air.
|
6 |
