All cooling towers operate on the principle of removing heat from water by evaporating a small portion of the water that is recirculated through the unit. The heat that is removed is called the latent heat of vaporization. Each one pound of water that is evaporated removes approximately 1,050BTU’s in the form of latent heat. […]

An evaporative cooling tower is a heat exchanger that transfers heat from circulating water to the atmosphere. Warm water from the heat source is pumped to the top of the tower and will than flow down through plastic or wooden shells. As it falls downward across baffles, the water is broken into small droplets. Simultaneously, […]

Dry cooling towers operate by heat transmission through a surface that divides the working fluid from ambient air. These rely mainly on convection heat transfer to reject heat from the working fluid, rather than evaporation. The cooling takes place through air-cooled exchangers similar to radiators

Two basic types of water cooling processes are commonly used. One transfers the heat from warmer water to cooler air mainly by an evaporation heat-transfer process and is known as the evaporative or wet cooling. These are also termed as open systems. The other transfers the heat from warmer water to cooler air by a […]

Cooling tower is generally designed for the average hourly wet bulb temperature (WBT) during summer at the place, where it is going to be used. Induced draught counter flow CT with splash fill is chosen after considering the relevant merits of various types. The CT characteristic and height are computed from empirical relationships. The fill...
