FIELD: heat exchange equipment. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the cooling of circulating water in the heat exchange equipment of industrial facilities. The low-profile cooling tower is characterized by the fact that a salt pond with water brine containing a compressor heat exchanger and a liquid chiller heat exchanger in the brine is additionally connected to the chilled water catchment basin, connected by pumps to the heat exchange equipment of the facility, through a cold-exchange pump unit, temperature sensors are introduced into the basin and into the salt pond connected to the inputs of the controller, the control outputs of which are connected to the compressor and the chiller, and the compressor inputs through the filter are connected to the inlet air line and the air heat exchanger of the chiller, its output is connected to the compressor heat exchanger in the pond brine, the output of this heat exchanger is connected to the outlet air line, and a grounded heat exchanger connected to its own air line is connected to the air filter through an additional valve. EFFECT: less expensive construction, ability to maintain lower temperatures and minor evaporation of water vapor into the atmosphere. 3 cl, 1 dwg.
