Cooling Tower Model
Model which predict tower-leaving water temperature (TCTS) for arbitrary
entering water temperature (TCTR) and outdoor air wet bulb temperature (WBT)
Temperature difference:
R= TCTR -TCTS
Model:
TCTS a4 b4 WBT c4 WBT 2 [d4 e4 WBT f 4 WBT 2 ] R [ g4 h4 WBT i4 WBT 2 ] R2
For HW 3b:
You will need to find coefficient a4, b4, c4, d4, e4, f4, g4, h4, and i4 based on the
graph from the previous slide and two variable function fitting procedure
Modeling of Water Cooled Chiller
(COP=Qcooling/Pelectric)
Chiller model:
COP= f(TCWS , TCTS , Qcooling , chiller properties)
Modeling of Water Cooled Chiller
Chiller model: Chiller data: QNOMINAL nominal cooling power,
PNOMINAL electric consumption for QNOMINAL
Link between the chiller and tower models is the Q released on the condenser:
Q condenser = Qcooling + Pcompressor ) - First law of Thermodynamics
Q condenser = (mcp)water form tower (TCTR-TCTS) m cooling tower is given - property of a tower
Q( )
Finally: Find P() or COP ( )
P( )
The only fixed variable is TCWS = 5C (38F) and Pnominal and Qnominal for a chiller (defined
in nominal operation condition: TCST and TCSW);
Based on Q() and WBT you can find P() and COP().
