what process variable is affected when the cooling tower performance has an increase in ambient temperature that causes and increase in cooling tower demands

Sagot :

The process variable that is affected when the cooling tower performance has an increase in ambient temperature is lowering the efficiency of the condenser and reducing the cooling power.

The factors that is influenced performance of cooling tower are:

  • Range
  • Heat load
  • Ambient wet-bulb temperature or relative humidity.
  • Approach.

The temperature difference between the hot water inlet and cold water outlet at the tower is called a range. The temperature of tower's ambient is generally  4 ° C to 6 ° C (or even higher​) less than the ambient temperature. Because of the temperature is cool, the cooling tower ready to cool the water at a temperature below ambient temperature. The impact of ambient temperature makes energy consumption increase.
