GFNS₂ · 800–4,000 m³/h per cell
GFNS₂ Concrete-Frame Square Counter-Flow Tower
The nine-size concrete-frame range: patented frame, patented fill, VFD drive with 40–52 % annual saving.
- MotorVariable frequency; low-speed reverse in winter for de-icing
GFNS₂ is the large-volume tower jointly developed with the China Machinery Ministry No.4 Design & Research Institute and Tsinghua University. Single-cell capacity runs from 800 to 4,000 m³/h across nine specifications. The concrete main frame holds a natural frequency of 12 Hz with a maximum amplitude of 0.09 mm, so the tower stays quiet and stable in wind; the fill is a trapezoidal wave sheet with 23 mm wave height and 30 mm pitch that raises fill height from 1.0 m to 1.5 m in the same envelope. Three national patents cover the drive, the frame and the fill.

Design notes
- Patent 88215994.1 — energy-saving FRP towerThe VFD drive delivers 40–52 % annual energy saving against a fixed-speed tower of the same duty.
- Patent 93201355.4 — beam frameCantilever multi-span continuous-beam RC frame with air-inlet columns moved inward 1–2.5 m, cutting vortex losses and lowering tower height by 0.5–0.9 m.
- Patent 91216967.2 — trapezoidal fill23 mm wave, 30 mm pitch, fill height raised from 1.0 m to 1.5 m — more heat transfer in the same plan area.
- Stable under windA 12 Hz natural frequency and 0.09 mm amplitude keep the structure out of resonance without extra stiffening.
