Wm = We + Wd

where Wm = makeup water, Wd = drift loss.


Evaporation loss can be estimated by the following equation:
We = 0.00085 Wc(T1 − T2)*1.8
where Wc = circulating-water flow, m3/h at tower inlet
T1 − T2 = inlet-water temperature minus outlet-water temperature, °C

In bottom factory:
Flow rate of circulating pump: 20 m3/h
Wc = flow rate of circulating pump * 0.8
With 0.8 is the valve opening.

T1: inlet-water temperature = 29 *C


T2: outlet-water temperature =28* C .
We=0.00085*20*0.8*(29-28)*1.8= 0.0245 m3/h
Drift loss
Wd = Wc*0.002= 0.04 m3/h

So water make up = We + Wd = 0.0245 + 0.04= 0.0645 m3/h.
