84-11: Determination of Fan Flow and Water Rate Adjustment for Off-DesignThe determination of the performance of a mechanical draft cooling tower requires that the air mass flow through the tower be known. Since this flow is not measured, it has been customary to use the manufacturer's design airflow and adjust it by the on third power of the ratio of the design fan horsepower to test fan horsepower. This basic adjustment is inadequate for today's technology and needs to be improved. The most nearly correct approximation

These possibilities are discussed with illustrative pictures and data presented

Due to the substantial cost of new construction

mainly as a refrigerant fluid and in parallel

This is not surprising

The relative influence of fill type (film/splash) and flow orientation (counter/crossflow) on the Lewis number is examined in light of this more complete data set

and foreign countries utilizing CE guidelines

flash-off of bromine has never been studied

A simple method for reducing the unsteady loads is also discussed

Recent EPA rulings favor the increased use of alkaline cooling water treatments in recirculating systems
