Cooling Tower Garg
Introduction
Cooling towers are commonly used to remove excess heat that is generated & represent a relatively inexpensive and dependable means of removing low-grade heat from cooling water. Cooling towers make use of evaporation whereby some of the water is evaporated into a moving air stream and subsequently discharged into the atmosphere in the form of vapours.
Tower Problems
Scale deposit Fouling due to presence of silt ,dirt ,sand etc. Microbiological growth due to presence of microoganisms , Algae, fungi Corrosion of steel parts
Operation Considerations
Water make-up To compensate the water loss due to : 1. Evaporation , 2. Drift (water entrained in discharge vapor), estimated to be About 0.2% of water supply 3. Blow down (water released to discard solids).
