    Evaporative cooling towers use water evaporation to provide cooling. Approximately 1.8 gallons of water evaporates per ton of cooling capacity per hour, requiring makeup water. As water evaporates in cooling towers, dissolved solids remain and concentrate the water. Most systems control this by bleeding off and replacing the concentrated water. The maximum normal water makeup rate for a cooling tower system is 0.06 gallons per minute per ton of capacity, or about 2% of the nominal tower flow rate.

    SUBJECT: WATER MAKE-UP REQUIREMENTS OF COOLING TOWERS FYI #262 12/07/2001

    Evaporative cooling towers, like the Advantage Power Tower Series,


    provide cooling by evaporating a small amount of the recirculated
    process water flow. Approximately 1,000 BTUs are required to
    evaporate .12 gallons of water. Therefore, every tower ton (15,000
    BTH/hr) requires approximately 1.8 gallons of water evaporation, or
    .03 gpm/ton.

    As water evaporates in a cooling tower system, the water vapor


    enters the atmosphere while any dissolved solids remain behind,
    building concentration in the remaining water.

    Most water treatment systems control this concentration by bleeding


    off the high concentration water, which is made up by fresh city water
    with a lower solid concentration. The amount of water that is bleed
    off by the water treatment system is usually less than or equal to the
    amount of water that evaporates.
    Advantage Power Tower Series
    Therefore, the maximum normal water make-up for a cooling tower Cooling Tower, Model TC-135F
    system is .06 gpm/ton or about 2% of the nominal tower flow rate.
