Summary
The evaporative cooling tower is often used to reject waste heat from industrial processes, especially power plants and chemical facilities. A consistent physical model for crossflow and counterflow cooling towers which imposes rigorous heat and mass balances on each increment of the tower under study is presented. Individual towers are characterized by specification of a mass evaporation rate equation. The solution algorithm allows reduction of test data, interpolation of the reduced data, and comparison of test results to design data. These capabilities can be used to evaluate acceptance tests for new towers, to monitor changes in tower performance as an aid in planning maintenance, and to predict tower performance under changed operating conditions.
