A method for evaluating the heat and mass transfer characteristics in a reversibly used water cooling tower (RUWCT) for heat recovery.

Summary

This paper presents a method by which the heat and mass transfer characteristics in a counter-flow RUWCT can be evaluated. The method is developed by introducing to the Merkel's equation for standard water cooling towers the revisions that account for the differences in heat and mass transfer characteristics between a water cooling tower and a RUWCT. Field experimental results from a RUWCT installed in a sub-tropical region in China indicated that the method developed could be used to evaluate the thermal performance of a RUWCT with an acceptable accuracy.
