Cooling Tower
Types
Thermal Performance
Thermal performance of an evaporative tower is
primarily dependent upon the entering air wet bulb
temperature (WBT) and relative humidity (RH).
The entering WBT is an independent variable that
dictates cooling tower selection.
It is both the theoretical limit to the leaving cold water
temperature and the only air parameter involved in
cooling tower selection.
The difference between the WBT and the tower
leaving or cold water temperature (CWT) is called the
approach temperature or the approach.
Approach temperatures generally fall between 5 and
20 F.
The difference between the tower leaving or hot
water temperature (HWT) and the CWT is called the
range
