Type of article: Article

Summary

THIS PAPER COMPARES AN ACCURATE ANALYSIS OF COUNTERFLOW COOLING TOWERS, INCLUDING WATER LOSS BY EVAPORATION, WITH THE APPROXIMATE METHOD BASED ON ENTHALPY DRIVING FORCE DEVELOPED BY MERKEL. SUBSTANTIAL UNDERESTIMATES OF TOWER VOLUME OF FROM 5 TO 15 PERCENT ARE OBTAINED WHEN THE APPROXIMATE ANALYSIS IS USED, INDICATING THE POSSIBILITY OF QUITE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AS FAR AS COOLING TOWER DESIGN IS CONCERNED.
