Summary
The paper deals with the problems of energy savings and environmental aspects (water consumption, drift emission, noise level) in cooling systems using mechanical draft wet cooling towers. Graphs are provided to represent the correlation between cooling performance, size of cooling towers, and fan power requirements for the most common operating range. Tracing of distinct cold water temperatures is shown, below which reduction of fan power is advisable. Generalized charts are presented to provide values on cooling tower evaporation loss and make-up water demand.
