How Much Water Is Lost Through A Commercial Cooling Tower System With A Throughput Of About 600 Gpm? |
|
Answer» This question depends on many factors. It sounds like the tower is small. A RULE of THUMB suggests that the tower will see an evaporation loss of about 0.1% of the circulation flowrate for each Fahrenheit degree of cooling. Other LOSSES INCLUDE drift losses (probably very small for your tower) and blow down. Blow down is simply a purge of tower water to prohibit the BUILDUP of solids.
