Calculation of the make-up water consumption for the wet cooling tower | tiwater.info
Published on by Ivan Tikhonov in Technology
Make-up water consumption for a wet cooling tower is determined by the makeup water chemistry.
Heat removal in a wet cooling tower occurs due to the evaporation of a part of the water in the cooling tower. As a result of the evaporation, heat is removed from the cooling water. This process is highly efficient in terms of heat transfer. But what happens to the chemical water composition in a wet cooling tower?

Water evaporated is pure water and chemicals remain in the system. There are windage losses where both water and chemicals are lost. As the process continues, solids increase. To keep the solids in desired level blow down is given from the system.
