Cooling tower sizing removes waste heat to atmosphere. It's determined by cooling load and approach temperature to wet-bulb.

الصيغة

Approach = outlet temp - wet-bulb temp (typically 2-4°C)
C
C value — Variable used in the calculation

دليل خطوة بخطوة

  1. 1Calculate: Q = m×cp×ΔT where ΔT is cooling temperature drop
  2. 2Approach = outlet temp - wet-bulb temp (typically 2-4°C)
  3. 3Size tower for required cooling capacity

أمثلة محلولة

الإدخال
Q = 500 kW, water flow 60 kg/s, approach 3°C, wet-bulb 25°C
النتيجة
Tower outlet ≈ 28°C, inlet 36°C
6°C drop required

أخطاء شائعة يجب تجنبها

  • Confusing dry-bulb with wet-bulb temperature
  • Over-sizing tower (reduces efficiency)

أسئلة شائعة

How does wet-bulb affect cooling tower size?

Higher wet-bulb (humid climates) reduces cooling effectiveness; larger tower needed for same duty.

What's approach temperature?

Minimum difference between cooled water and wet-bulb; smaller approach requires larger (costlier) tower.
