ALGORITHMS FOR PERFORMANCE SIMULATION OF COOLING TOWERS, EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS, AND FLUID COOLERS.

Author(s) : WEBB R. L., VILLACRES A.

Summary

THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES 3 COMPUTER ALGORITHMS THAT PERFORM RATING CALCULATIONS OF COOLING TOWERS, FLUID COOLERS AND CONDENSERS. THEY ARE USEFUL FOR RATING COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE HEAT EXCHANGERS AT OFF-DESIGN CONDITIONS. THE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER < CHARACTERISTIC EQUATION > IS DERIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER'S RATING DATA AT THE DESIGN POINT. THE ALGORITHMS ARE CAPABLE OF PREDICTING THE HEAT EXCHANGE CAPACITY AT ANY WEATHER OR PROCESS CONDITION AND THEY ARE ABLE TO PREDICT THE HEAT DUTY WITHIN 3% OF THE MANUFACTURER'S RATING DATA.
