Introduction
A cooling tower is a heat rejection device, which extracts waste heat to
the atmosphere though the cooling of a water stream to a lower
temperature. The type of heat rejection in a cooling tower is termed
"evaporative" in that it allows a small portion of the water being cooled to
evaporate into a moving air stream to provide significant cooling to the
rest of that water stream. Evaporative heat rejection devices such as
cooling towers are commonly used to provide significantly lower water
temperatures than achievable with "air cooled" or "dry" heat rejection
devices, like the cooling of hot water in large industries, radiator in a car,
thereby achieving more cost-effective and energy efficient operation of
systems in need of cooling.

Technical Details
Working principle :

Warm water from the heat source is pumped to the

water distributed over the wet-deck fill by means of nozzles.
Simultaneously, air is drawn through air inlet louvers and through the
wet-deck surface causing a small portion of water to evaporate. The
evaporate process remove heat from water. the warm, moist air is drawn
out of top of the tower. The resulting cold water is then recirculated back
through the heat surface in a continuous cycle.

All the cooling towers are working on the principle of water evaporation.
On evaporation of water, both heat and mass transfer takes place, and
water gets cooled. Rate of evaporation is increased by increasing air
velocity. In case of cooling tower we call this an air draft. This air draft is
created by mechanical system of power driven fan. We create the same
air draft in our cooling tower, by using specially designed spray nozzles.

Evaporation is a natural phenomenon. Water will evaporate till air in

contact with it gets saturated with moisture. Evaporation cannot be more
than the saturation point of air. Thus total evaporation will depend upon
the moisture holding capacity of air, which depends on humidity.

When hot water is sprayed from top of the cooling tower through our
nozzles, it gives jet effect and air is sucked from the area surrounding
each nozzle. Air and water travel in co current direction down to the
basin. During this travel, air cools down the water to desired temperature,
and escape through pumps.
