The following graph illustrates the relationship between the Relative Plan Area (RPA) and Relative Power Consumption (RPC) with respect to increasing Relative Cooling Capacity (RCC), and describes how to double the relative cooling capacity with the same values of all other thermal Read More
HOW TO MEASURE THE EFFICIENCY OF A COOLING TOWER In the design process of a cooling tower, there is a need to have at least seven data values or rather 7 variables. If only one of these values is changed, the Read More
What happens if the cooling tower is not working properly and the plant is blocked? First thing: do not panic! Many things could go wrong! We might not even be aware of the many inconveniences that can occur to an industrial plant Read More
Cooling Tower System: Converting Geothermal Energy into Electricity Example of flash power plant producing electricity Heat emanates from the earth’s interior and crust generates magma (molten rock). Because magma is less dense than surrounding rock, it rises but generally does not reach Read More
Use of Cooling Towers with Geothermal Energy 1. What is geothermal energy? Geothermal energy derives from the heat of the earth’s core. Here we will refer to energy deriving from the core of the earth. Based on new research, the earth’s core Read More
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF A COOLING TOWER OPERATING AT LOW EFFICIENCY? Cooling tower detailed calculations A low efficient cooling tower brings very serious consequences. Bruno Neri The tower is part of a system designed to dispose residual waste heat from the Read More
HOW TO MEASURE THE EFFICIENCY OF A COOLING TOWER In the design process of a cooling tower there is a need to have at least seven data values, or rather 7 variables. If only one of these values is changed, the Read More
COOLING TOWER Cooling tower design require water and air related data. Data concerning the water include flow rate, water temperature going into the tower, and temperature going out of the tower. This data is provided by the cooling tower plant design. Data Read More
The purpose of this post is to stimulate you to share your experiences and thoughts on energy related issues. The following table and related diagrams illustrate how to assess energy in a production plant scenario served by a water cooling tower. It Read More
