3 What is Cooling Tower? A cooling tower is an equipment used to reduce the temperature of a water stream by extracting heat from water and emitting it to the atmosphere 3

4 Types of Cooling Towers 1. Natural Draft Cooling Towers 2. Mechanical draft Cooling Tower a) Forced Draft Cooling tower b) Induced Draft cooling Tower Natural Draft Cooling Tower Hot air moves through tower where Fresh cool air is drawn into the tower from bottom No fan is required Concrete tower <200 m Used for large heat duties 4

5 Mechanical Draft Cooling Tower Large fans to force air through circulated water Water falls over fill surfaces: maximum heat transfer Cooling rates depend on many parameters Large range of capacities can be grouped Mechanical draft Cooling tower is of three types Forced draft Induced draft cross flow Induced draft counter flow 5

6 Types of Cooling Towers Forced Draft Cooling Towers Air blown through tower by centrifugal fan at air inlet Advantages: suited for high air resistance & fans are relatively quiet Disadvantages: recirculation due to high air-entry and low air-exit velocities 6

7 Types of Cooling Towers Induced Draft Cooling Towers Two types Cross flow Counter flow Advantage: less recirculation than forced draft towers Disadvantage: fans and motor drive mechanism require weather-proofing 7

8 Types of Cooling Towers Induced Draft Counter Flow CT Hot water enters at the top Air enters at bottom and exits at top Uses forced and induced draft fans

9 Types of Cooling Towers Induced Draft Cross Flow CT Water enters top and passes over fill Air enters on one side or opposite sides Induced draft fan draws air across fill 9

16 Selection of Cooling Tower 1. Range Difference between cooling water inlet and outlet temperature: Range ( C) = CW inlet temp CW outlet temp High range = good performance Range Approach Hot Water Temperature (In) (In) to the Tower (Out) from the Tower Cold Water Temperature (Out) Wet Bulb Temperature (Ambient) 16

17 Selection of Cooling Tower Approach Difference between cooling tower outlet cold water temperature and ambient wet bulb temperature: Approach ( C) = CW outlet temp Wet bulb temp Low approach = good performance Range Approach Hot Water Temperature (In) (In) to the Tower (Out) from the Tower Cold Water Temperature (Out) Wet Bulb Temperature (Ambient) 17

18 Selection of Cooling Tower Cooling Capacity Heat rejected in kcal/hr or tons of refrigeration (TR) = mass flow rate of water X specific heat X temperature difference High cooling capacity = good performance Range Approach Hot Water Temperature (In) (In) to the Tower (Out) from the Tower Cold Water Temperature (Out) Wet Bulb Temperature (Ambient) 18

19 Selection of Cooling Tower Evaporation Loss Water quantity (m3/hr) evaporated for cooling duty = theoretically, 1.8 m3 for e= every 10,000,000 kcal heat rejected Range Hot Water Temperature (In) (In) to the Tower (Out) from the Tower = x 1.8 x circulation rate (m3/hr) x (T1-T2) T1-T2 = Temp. difference between inlet and outlet water Approach Cold Water Temperature (Out) Wet Bulb Temperature (Ambient) 19

20 Selection of Cooling Tower 6. Cycles of concentration (C.O.C.) Ratio of dissolved solids in circulating water to the dissolved solids in make up water 7. Cycles of concentration (C.O.C.) Depend on cycles of concentration and the evaporation losses Blow Down = Evaporation Loss / (C.O.C. 1) 20

22 Startup & Operation Preparation for Start-up Cleaning Ensure that the water basin is free of dirt & other foreign material..open the drain and flush the water basin with clean water. Trial Circulation of Water Slowly rotate the sprinkler by hand to verify smooth operation. Start the circulating pump& run long enough to clean out the interior of thee tower and water pipes. Examine the Tower Be sure to lock out fan motor disconnect before servicing any portion of fan assembly. After the trial circulation of water check for foreign material and dirt within the tower and at the outlets of the sprinkler pipes.check the discharge screen for debris. 22

23 Preparation for Start-up Check for smooth operation and minimal clearance between blades & tower. Check the power supply for correct voltage. All electrical connections must be in accordance with all applicable electrical codes. Operate the tower fan for two to three hours. If abnormal vibration or sound develops,correct it & try same process. 23

24 Cooling Tower Start-up Pump Check rotation of tower pumps by starting pump momentarily. Once the proper rotation is established the flow to the tower by adjusting the pump discharge valve. After steady water flow is established ensure that the sprinkler head is rotating smoothly and that the proper RPM has been achieved. Fan Clear the intake & discharge areas of any foreign material. Set the fan thermostat for the desired temperature and check for proper operation. When fan is running measure the amperage draw and verify that it falls within nameplate rating. 24

25 Caution during operation Water Flow Cooling tower performance is affected by the volume flow rate of water. Proper attention should be given In order to maintain required flow rate during operation. Water Treatment The interior of the tower must be kept clean to ensure trouble freee operation.water treatment system is recommended for the area with critical water quality. Gear Reducer Oil level. The oil level in the gear reducer must be maintained at the proper level Overall Operation Periodic attention should be given to vibration,noise,temperature of the cooling water and electric current. If any changes are noticed corrective action should be taken. 25

26 Maintenance Cooling Tower Daily Checklist Description Overall visualization Water level Float valve Overflow Water leaking Vibration/Sound Comment Complete overall visual inspection to be sure all equipment is operating and that safety systems are in place.& water is flowing in the tower. Check water level in the water sump & make sure it is at the required level Check that the float valve is in place & working well Water must not overflow the tower sump Check if there is any leakage anywhere in the tower & record it for corrective action.
