Cooling Tower Educational Material

[Don Davis]

I'm new to the group and am impressed by its helpful participants. I haven't seen any current discussions of cooling towers- an area where I feel I can contribute.

I've collected collected considerable info over the years so, if you have any cooling tower related inquiries,

Hi , Don Davis
I am very interested in cooling tower educational material . If you help me with technical informations , i should be grateful .
Best regards

if you have some reading material about the subject it would be very welcome.

always nice to have something interesting to read whit a glass of wine and some cheese at hand ;)

Hi Don davis,

What kind of water temp can we get with CT's?

[cavalier2903]

:Dwould luv some info only a couple years experience and am workin hard at getting into cooling towers and chillers whatever u can send me if u wanna e mail it to me cavalieri2903@yahoo.com maybe u could clue me in on the best places for training in the us

Dear sir,
Please tell me about cooling tower with complete details.

i Shall be very thank full to you and waiting for your best regarde.

Hi
What I am interested is how do we match a cooling tower capacity (tonnage) and pump flow for the chiller and condenser. Right now I am using a 5f40 carrier SST40F and SDT 110F

THanks

Hi there. Ive just moved to Sydney from England and have landed a job in a food process factory. Here my responsibilities are managing the 23 cooling towers, amongst many other systems. I came from background in small commercial work so would be massively grateful if you could point me in direction of any information enlightening me in this area. My email is Erick_Davey@hotmail.com.

Much appreciated. All the best. Eric

Hi there im a last year refrigeration and air con mechanic apprentice and i have to do a report on maintaionance and servicing cooling towers and maintainance and serce of them and cannont find any decent info i have to find out different types and application and operationg principles and commisioning and such things if u could help me out with a nic chunk of information to pick from that would be mich appreciated mate thanks

[sammyg69er69]

hi there i need all info i can get on names and tyoes operating principles and all such thngs involving cooling towers

what exactly do you want to know about cooling towrs i happen to b a specialist in cooling towers.Taurai Zimba from Zimbabwe my add is tawezimba@yahoo.com

Hey Guys.

I've been engaged in a task to select either air cooled chillers or cooling towers to cool the lubrication system of an equipment. The lubrication system is built with an internal heat exchanger and the heat load generated is about 1000kW. The required inlet water temperature is around 20-40 Celsius. The outlet water temperature from the lubrication system is around 30-50 Celsius. Please bear in mind the maximum ambient temperature is 50 Celsius and minimum ambient temperature is -3 Celsius.

I'm opting for the cooling towers as it's cheaper. I tried to search for reference materials but to no avail, hence I would appreciate if you guys can help with the questions below:

1. What is the typical cooling capacity of a cooling tower?
2. Would a cooling tower be problematic in a mine site?
3. Utilizing cooling tower would require a dosing system and constant addition of water. Besides that, what are the main disadvantages of Cooling Towers?
4. Is there a book that list the rule of thumb in selecting either air cooled chiller or cooling tower?

Hi cooling tower people...

I am Bruce Boldy with GEA Cooling Towers I will be glad to ger you info on tower operation, how to size, etc. etc.

Just get in touch we also have a good link with basic info at www.Polacel.com

I am in the uS but our towers are built worldwide if it matters

best to all

Bruce

Heat rejection factor shall be found from Carrier condenser chart which is around 1.24 for water cooled condensers and Refrigeration TR need to be multiplied with HRF and the Cooling tower need to be selected for heat removal of
HRF x Refrigeration TR

Dear Members,
I am cooling tower manufacturer in India. For cooling tower preliminary information, you can visit my website of "Creation Cooling Towers". I hope you will have required detail from it.

Still more detail required let me e-mail at following addresses:

Quick question, how the air will behave, if the temp of the water is below the wet bulb temp of the air.

Will water will still evaporate?

Will outlet air gets cooled? What will be the sensible cooling factor?

[kamal56]

dear Bruceboldy i thank u very much for the information.Keep it up.realy wonderfull.

[Fire Fly]

A Cooling tower removes heat from water by using evaporation. In an evaporative cooling tower, a small segment of the water that has been cooled is allowed to evaporate in to the moving airstream to provide significant cooling to the remainder of the water stream.

[Fire Fly]

what sort of information do you have? i would also welcome any additional educational material on the subject...

basically, you can search the water flow rate of condenser and the water temp. range in chillier catalogue. For example, 300 m3/h of water flow rate, and 37 C hot to 32 C cold water,
then, you should give a safety factor for water flow rate (like 1.2),
the cooling tower design water flowrate is 300 x 1.2 = 360 m3/h
so you can give the cooling tower design condition,
flowrate:　360 m3/h
hot water: 37 c
cold water: 32 c
wet bulb temp.: based on you local area condition, normally 27 C (north american, canada), 28 C(hot area related)
