Maintenance of cooling towers

                                                           Cooling Tower A cooling tower extracts heat from water by evaporation.  In an evaporative cooling tower, a small portion of the water being cooled is allowed to evaporate into a moving air stream to provide significant cooling to...

COOLING TOWER TERMS

COOLING TOWER TERMS Cooling Range The difference in temperature between the hot water entering the tower and the cold water leaving the tower is the cooling range. Approach The difference between the temperature of the cold water leaving the tower and the wet bulb temperature of the air is known as the approach Wet bulb […]

Closed circuit Cooling Towers

Closed circuit Cooling Towers Closed circuit Cooling Towers are hybrids that pass the working fluids through a tube bundle, upon which clean water is sprayer and a fan-induced draft applied. The resulting heat transfer. performance is much closer to that of a wet cooling tower, with the advantage provided by a dry cooler of protection […]

Chillers and Chiller Systems

Chillers and Chiller Systems The Modern Industrial Chiller is basically a cooling system that removes heat from one element (water/glycol/air) and deposits into another (ambient air or water). The standard design is a system that cools 60° F water (water/glycol, or air) to 50° F and deposits the heat into the ambient air at 95° […]
