==Classification by build== {{Unreferenced section|date=April 2021}} === Package type === [[File:Field_Errected_Cooling_Towers.jpg|thumb|Field-erected cooling towers]] [[File:Brotep_Eco_coolin_tower.jpg|thumb|Brotep-Eco cooling tower]] [[File:Package_type_cooling_tower.JPG|upright|thumb|Package cooling tower]] These types of cooling towers are factory preassembled, and can be simply transported on trucks, as they are compact machines. The capacity of package type towers is limited and, for that reason, they are usually preferred by facilities with low heat rejection requirements such as food processing plants, textile plants, some chemical processing plants, or buildings like hospitals, hotels, malls, automotive factories, etc. Due to their frequent use in or near residential areas, sound level control is a relatively more important issue for package type cooling towers. === Field-erected type === Facilities such as power plants, steel processing plants, petroleum refineries, or petrochemical plants usually install field-erected type cooling towers due to their greater capacity for heat rejection. Field-erected towers are usually much larger in size compared to the package type cooling towers. A typical field-erected cooling tower has a [[Pultrusion|pultruded]] [[fiber-reinforced plastic]] (FRP) structure, FRP [[Cladding (construction)|cladding]], a mechanical unit for [[air draft]], and a drift eliminator.
