Induced draft --- A mechanical draft tower with a fan at the discharge (at the top) which pulls air up through the tower. The fan induces hot moist air out the discharge. This produces low entering and high exiting air velocities, reducing the possibility of recirculation in which discharged air flows back into the air intake. This fan/fin arrangement is also known as draw-through

. (see Image 3)

Forced draft --- A mechanical draft tower with a blower type fan at the intake. The fan forces air into the tower, creating high entering and low exiting air velocities. The low exiting velocity is much more susceptible to recirculation. With the fan on the air intake, the fan is more susceptible to complications due to freezing conditions. Another disadvantage is that a forced draft design typically requires more motor horsepower than an equivalent induced draft design. The benefit of the forced draft design is its ability to work with high static pressure. Such setups can be installed in more-confined

spaces and even in some indoor situations. This fan/fill geometry is also known as blow-through

When a project is originally designed, the designer must decide whether a natural draft or mechanical draft tower offers the best economic result.

Mechanical draft towers are substantially less costly to purchase, but have the disadvantage of having a continuous auxiliary power draw. They are also physically smaller and shorter.

Natural draft towers consume no auxiliary power, but are very expensive to purchase and erect. They are very large and tall. Often times, plants do not have enough "real estate" to fit such a large structure.

One must do an economic analysis to establish which option is the best choice, economically.

They are also simpler, not having any moving parts
