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° […]

Air Cooled Heat Exchanger

The right heat exchanger (HX) requires some knowledge of the different heat exchanger types, as well as the environment in which the unit must operate. Typically in the manufacturing industry, several differing types of heat exchangers are used for just the one process or system to derive the final product. For example, a kettle HX […]
