    The document calculates the make-up water needs for a cooling tower with a condenser water flow rate of 750 gallons per minute. It determines that evaporation, drift, and blowdown losses will total 1.09% of the circulating water flow rate per hour. Taking a safety margin, a make-up water rate of 2% of the circulating water flow rate is sufficient. For 12 hours of operation, this equals 10,800 gallons of make-up water needed. A proposed tank with dimensions of 3.66m x 4.88m x 3.66m would have an effective capacity of 11,505 gallons, sufficient to meet the calculated make-up water needs.

    Cooling Tower Make Up Water Calculation

    Condenser Water Flow Rate = 750 igpm


    Hot Water temperature = 97°F
    Cold Water Temperature = 87°F
    Wet Bulb Temperature = 82°F

    Make up water (%) = Evaporation Loss (%) + Drift Loss (%) + Blowdown Loss (%)
    Where ;
    Evaporation Loss = 0.85%
    Drift Loss = 0.02%
    Blowdown Loss = 0.22%
    Therefore,
    Make up water (%) = 0.85% + 0.02% + 0.22%
    = 1.09% of total circulating water flow rate x hr
    Hence, considering safety margin, a make up of 2% of the circulating water flow rate is
    sufficient.
    Take Operation hr = 12 hrs
    Make up Water = (2% of circulating water x 12 hrs) x 60
    = {(2% x 750 igpm) x12hr x60
    = 10,800 igals

    Proposed Tank Size = 3.66m (W) x 4.88m (D) x 3.66m (H)


    (Pressed Steel Tank)
    Tank Effective Capacity = (3.66.x 4.88 x 3.66) x 0.8
    = 52.3 m3
    = 11,505 igals
