Summary

An experimental study has been carried out on the water distribution system of a pilot cooling tower of 160 m3/hour. The performances of different industrial water distributors have been evaluated by changing the operative conditions of the pilot tower. In particular, the efficiency and the uniformity of the water distribution have been investigated and compared with the results obtained in a small-scale loop, in which the single nozzles were tested. Measurements included ensemble photography and high-speed photography. Comments upon the influence of the parameters on tower behaviour are also included.
