11-21: Improving The Thermal Performance Of Cooling Towers By Conditioning Of Natural Draft Towers

11-21: Improving The Thermal Performance Of Cooling Towers By Conditioning Of Natural Draft TowersUp to the present, attempts at improving performance of cooling towers has been focused on the design of the components such as the packing, nozzles, fan, etc. This paper presents an investigation that has been carried out to assess the viability of a new and novel approach by conditioning the entering air to the cooling tower in order to reduce the wet bulb temperature, which is the principal external parameter that affects performance. The wet bulb

forced the plant to review other oxidizing chemistries

A guide for successful application is provided
