In this post I want to share with you how to evaluate performance characteristics of cooling towers. The performance characteristics of various types of towers will vary depending on height, fill configuration, and flow arrangement. Please be noted that this post is for basic knowledge only. Accurate characteristics of specific tower performance should be consulted with cooling tower manufacturer.
This post will cover the following performance characteristics of cooling tower:
- Effect of varying wet bulb temperature on cold water temperature
- Effect of varying cooling range on cold water temperature
- Effect of varying water circulating rate and heat load on cold water temperature
- Effect of varying wet bulb temperature, range, and water circulating rate on cold water temperature
- Effect of varying fan HP (horsepower) input on cold water temperature
