To negate the effects, you should use galvanized metal as a sacrificial barrier where there has been
high exposure. 2. Mechanical damage Poor maintenance could result in worn fan shafts. How can the
resulting indoor temperature be almost equal to the design indoor temperature when the design
temperature condition of the cooling water system obviously is not met. The two approach
temperatures are decreasing with increasing WBT. The moisture generation is calculated from the
values of the activity level (1,2 Met) and the partial pressure of the water vapour in the room air.
Location in building This parameter examines the impact of the location of the office floor in the
building. The adjacent and opposite office rooms have the same specific internal heat generation as
the analysed room, for humans as well as equipment and lighting. The investment cost for an air
cooled heat exchanger is significantly lower than for a closed loop cooling tower with the same
cooling capacity. The analytically based can further be separated into two sub categories; those
requiring numerical integration of one or more differential equations and those requiring evaluation
of more simple equations. Fig 1: Atmospheric Cooling Tower s Courtesy: chemicalengineering.com
Atmospheric Cooling Towers Usages: Atmospheric cooling tower uses in power plants, chemical
plants, and air cooling plants Pros of Atmospheric Cooling Towers: Atmospheric cooling towers do
not use a mechanical fan to move air through the tower; a pressure spray provides a natural induction
flow. Its maximum was more than double the cooling capacity of the chilled beams. The lesson to
learn from this is that none of the heat fluxes in a room can be regarded as constant. The
construction of the different parts in the building, such as floor, ceiling, outer wall, windows and
inner walls, are always the same in all the rooms. If a change is made in one or more construction
parts due to parameter variation analysis, this change is made i all the rooms in the floor. 12 m
Lumped middle section to a single inner wall equivalent in area and thermal weight to middle section

in a good heat transfer area. The Tower Tech design, as described above, reduces the entrainment of
small size dust particulates thereby addressing one vehicle for nucleation. Confirm whether the wet
bulb temperature is specified as ambient (the temperature in the cooling tower area) or inlet. For
more in depth studies of cooling towers, Kroger (1999) and Hill et al. (1990) are recommended.

draught. At VIRIDIS, your preferred Cooling Tower specialist in Malaysia, we pride ourselves on
providing tailored solutions that meet our clients’ specific needs. Application of this principle to the
design of large cooling towers. Together, these two circumstances limit the use of this type of system
to a relatively small portion of the year and also consequently require that the cooling load is lower
(about 25%) during winter operation. 3.2.2 Series coupling The operating principle of the tower
based systems described under section 3.2.1 Parallel coupling enables the chiller to be shut down
and switch the entire cooling load to be handled by the cooling tower. Consequently, all parameter
changes causing the indoor air temperature to increase are placed in the column “Higher indoor
temperature”. The design total internal heat gain includes design heat gains from humans, lighting,
office equipment and transmitted solar radiation. This is a normal way of making simulations in the
design process to either calculate the resulting indoor temperature or the necessary cooling capacity
to meet the indoor temperature criterion. Forced Mechanical Draft designs are so inefficient that
Your Mentor has never seen one. Data is from table 4.6. The zero-level represents the data from
Poppe. SR Globals Profile - Building Vision, Exceeding Expectations. In this design for cross-flow
cooling towers, gravity is all that is required for water to flow down the fill to reach the cold water
basin because there is no opposing force. Liquid temperature secondary circuit: Two sensors placed in
the supply and return liquid coolant serving the monitored office floor. The liquid in Circuit 1 is
called Liquid 1 and subsequently the liquid in Circuit 2 is called Liquid 2.
The coolant in the primary (intermediate) circuit is a 40% propylene glycol-water solution while the
liquid in the secondary circuit is merely water. Figure 5.3 Schematic illustration of a closed type
cooling tower used in the simulations. The investment cost for a conventional all-air air conditioning
system is considerably higher than the first three systems, i.e. about 40% higher. When comparing
the first three systems, the total annual costs show no significant differences. Performance can be
expressed in terms of product output, power usage or any other key performance indicator relevant
to the particular process. The cold-water temperature must be low enough to exchange heat or to
condense vapors at the optimum temperature. The rest of the year the clothing is equal to 1,1 Clo to
reflect that people have more clothes during colder weather conditions. The lighter (orange) dots
represent the indoor temperature when the conventional comfort cooling system with a vapour
compression chiller is running. To examine the temperature profile and to determine thermal
conductor from ra. The warmer the climate the lower the allowed internal heat gain. In such cases,
evaluate the most critical or temperature-sensitive process first. The original development of IDA
ICE was requested, specified and partly financed by a group of thirty leading Scandinavian
companies within the building sector. By way of the chimney effect in the cooling tower’s design, a
natural pressure difference is created, resulting in airflow. The cooling devices in the room will then
start to cool the room acting as a “brake” on the rising temperature, thus hindering the temperature
rise. The drop in COP down to zero comes from the drop of cooling capacity during night time when
there is no need for cooling in the rooms and the ambient temperature is below the set point
temperature of the supply air. As can be seen, there are big differences in the requirements but also in
the criteria. Cooling towers work by using air to cool a working fluid (water). Process cooling is used
in manufacturing to cool equipment such as compressors and plastic molding machinery. The pilot
plant together with monitoring and evaluation was financed by BELOK, Vasakronan and CIT
Energy Management. The ASHRAE model is supplemented with different modes and different
control strategies for part load control. Read Article Cooling Tower Basics And Common

which has been applied in this thesis. More common measures, such as internal rate of return (IRR),
net present value of cashflow (NPV) and economic value added (EVA) provide more meaningful
information for long-term value. The Holding Time Index is the time required to remove 50% of the
water from the cooling system. Therefore all parameter changes causing the indoor air temperature to
decrease is placed in the column “Lower indoor temperature”. A radial fan is the most common type
of fan use in forced draft towers. Figure 2.5 Schematic illustration of a forced draft cooling tower
(illustrated with an open type cooling tower) When the air is pulled through the cooling tower (by
underpressure) the type is called induced draft, see figure 2.6. Induced draft towers may be of the
counterflow or crossflow type. The temperature of the incoming water depended on environmental
factors and was not controllable, placing the plant operators completely at the mercy of ambient
temperature conditions. Keywords: free cooling, low energy cooling, evaporative cooling,

indoor temperature” and “higher indoor temperature”. A TMY consists of twelve typical
Meteorological Months’ (TMM) selected from the calendar months in a weather database comprising
a period of normally 10-30 years. In general, the less temperature and flow data available from
installed instrumentation, the more likely a formal performance test will be required, regardless of
the tower’s age. It is owing to their effectiveness and execution within the assured time frame that
these repair and installation services are extremely popular among our clients.
The construction of the tower was carried out in the second half of 2011. Direct systems are
sometimes denoted as a “strainer cycle”. Where some latitude of choice is given by the process, a
smaller. The data is for the case when cooling is activated. In the case with cooling, the analysed
system performs as well as any conventional vapour compression cooling system. Even though
spilled water moves like a liquid and can splash and run, the molecules hold together naturally.
Previous work made by researchers is furthermore discussed as an introduction to the field of study.
IDA ICE has some unique characteristics as a building performance simulation tool, especially useful
in this project. 1) All mathematical models are described in terms of equations in a formal language

(2000) describe findings from measurements on a laboratory test rig. In the literature several values
of C, n and m has been presented. It is also quite rare that working hours start earlier than 8 o’clock
in the morning. 10. Geographical location Geographical location is a difficult parameter to
determine. Retrieved March 10, 2004, from LBNL home page. Page 174. The results from
simulation in this thesis concerning maximum indoor air temperature and the COP of a cooling tower
largely confirm the findings in earlier published research. It should be mentioned that these gradient
were in cases with displacement ventilation and in this case mixing ventilation is assumed. As stated
in equation 4.33 the fan motor speed is direct proportional to air mass flow through the fan. Salman

team have a minor injury or a period of tiredness, the team still can perform well (and win!). The
chapter gives a short introduction to cooling towers and air- cooled heat exchangers. Even at no
cooling, the indoor conditions are not extreme. The resulting indoor thermal climate is not solely
dependent on the outdoor climate such as air temperature and solar radiation. As the warm air starts
blowing inside the room, the. Coupled with the higher turnover rates, the Tower Tech tower can
drastically curtail planktonic population growth. Relationship between cooling load and water inlet
temperature. For this reason and for water saving causes, cooling towers with basically two operation
modes, dry or wet operation, has been developed. There is a distribution of SST in area A around the
diagonal line.
Thus, there is a considerable difference in risk for bacteria growth between these two cooling tower
applications. The outcome of the game is the resulting indoor air temperature. Without cooling, the
indoor temperature would reach levels which most people find unpleasant. Sample interval is 15
minutes and samples are processed to one hour average figures. The supply air is chilled by an
existing air cooling coil in the central air conditioning unit connected to the existing chiller. Cons of
Natural Draft Cooling Towers: Large amounts of water must be pumped into a natural draft cooling
tower. The other way of making the parameter analysis is to make full year simulations to examine
the variation and duration of the indoor temperature during a normal year. In mechanical draught
towers, propeller fans or centrifugal fans are the most common types of fans. Research is seldom
performed in solitary and for me that was certainly not the case. Most hvac systems remove heat
from your home using a device called a cooling tower. This makes it easy to replace and upgrade
program modules. The decrease in RH can be explained with the increase in air temperature during
working hours, which compensates for the moisture emitted from the person present. The only way to
find out if the design cooling capacity of the room cooling devices, when connected to a cooling
tower, is sufficient to keep the indoor air temperature below the maximum allowed room temperature
is to run simulations with a qualified building simulation tool. The following should be considered
when pre-selecting a cooling tower based on the wet bulb temperature. COP for an evaporative
cooler is usually increases with decreasing outdoor temperature. Validation focused on radiant heating
and cooling systems with RADTEST has been carried out within the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling
Task 22, (Ascherman and Zweifel 2003) 5.2 Prerequisites at base case The intention with the base
case building and its technical systems is that it will reflect typical conditions of a normal office
building, the activity in it and the standard and size of the technical systems. Hence, the following
prerequisites are important to notice. Whereas a gain of 2 COC is possible in installations operating at
2-3 COC’s using conventional tower designs. The requirements and criteria from BRE and MOD are
exclusively for naturally ventilated buildings. The impact of water quality on material selection will
be discussed. Compression of the gas raises its pressure from p1 to p2. It should be noted that the
values of the specific internal heat generation in table 5.1, section 5.4.1 List of parameter alterations,
includes solar radiation in the room. The flow quota has the strongest impact on the energy use, with
a change of up to 75% of the annual use of energy going from a flow quota of 1,0 to 0,5. The solar
radiation is quite high during Monday and Tuesday but lower on Wednesday. One Coolant in closed

significant source of water use for both of these cat-egories of water use at Federal facilities.
In their natural state, they will tend to stick together. Almadari et al (1998) report about a test
performed by BRE (Building Research Establishment, London UK) where an office room was
equipped with a chilled ceiling connected to a cooling tower. Simple payback is a screening tool used
primarily in constrained environments, and is rarely used as the primary metric for ranking and
evaluating capital expenditures. The cooling devices in the room will then start to cool the room
acting as a “brake” on the rising temperature, thus hindering the temperature rise. In fact, a poorly
executed economic evaluation can cost millions of dollars in lost productivity. The following points

How evaporative cooling towers work, performance, internal components, industrial and hvac
applications. Compression of the gas raises its pressure from p1 to p2. Furthermore algae can
themselves serve as a source of organic nutrients for bacterial life forms to thrive in the tower water.
During working hours, indoor temperature reaches a maximum of 27.5?C, and is above 26?C less
than 40 hours, which is about 1% of the annual working hours. An hvac (heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning) cooling tower is used to dispose of (reject) unwanted heat from a chiller. A cooling
tower is a heat rejection device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a
water stream to a lower temperature. The total energy usage in the tower is dominated by energy
supplied to the fan(s). This mode is added because the combination of Closed circuit mode and Wet
mode use spray water. Within the cooling tower, jets of hot water are used to maximize cooling
efficiency while also increasing the surface area for heat transfer. Sample interval is 15 minutes and
samples are processed to one hour average figures. The CTM can be configured as an open tower or
one with a closed circuit. All cooling towers work to ensure that they minimize the heat of the
machines. Study the factors on which efficiency of cooling tower can be critically accl. Hot water
goes in pipes feed hot water from industrial machinery or hvac systems into the cooling tower.

will cool water to the entering wet bulb temperature. Since a lot of simulations are required within
this work, a short simulation time is preferred. The paper concludes by commenting on best explained
in the context of a counterflow arrangement. An Investigation in Performance Enhancement of
Induced Draft Counter Flow Wet. Source: sandermechanical.com The hot water from the chiller will
enter near the top of the cooling tower and be sprayed across the wide surface area of the heat
transfer surface. In this case, all the variations of thermal capacity assume a building based on a
construction with concrete slabs. Given sufficient light and nutrients algae can reproduce rapidly or
“bloom” in a conventional tower environment. The analytically based models with less complexity
regarding model equations lies somewhere between the two other groups mentioned when it comes
to computational speed.
Equations for handling part load operation together with sequenced control strategies for maintaining
a constant supply cooling water temperature at different cooling loads and ambient conditions are
also added to the CTM. How cooling towers work there are a few kinds of cooling towers, but most
work using cooling towers and the environment many people who see power plant cooling towers
assume that they're. For a century, we have provided exceptional quality equipment and service to
the HVAC, process cooling, industrial, and refrigeration markets. These values are equal to an older
Swedish building (before 1960) with poorly insulated walls and two pane windows. Few, if any,
building owners can neglect the running costs and the environmental impact from a cooling system.
It's important to understand how different hvac systems work. The cases with dotted lines indicate
the resultant condition in the room with various combinations of moisture loads and air change rates.
This type of system uses the ventilation primarily to supply the room with fresh air and extract
contaminated air. Worst case is defined as when all the examined parameters are adjusted to values
equal to “Higher temperature”. The base case building does not meet the current Swedish building
code concerning insulation. Kim, NeurIPS 2023, MLILAB, KAISTAI MLILAB MAXIMUM

atmosphere. Interesting to notice is a slight decrease in the RH during daytime although one person
is present and producing moisture. The model is then used to optimize the cooling tower for the
required cooling load to achieve a high coefficient of performance (COP) for the cooling tower. This
approach makes this type of modelling and calculating very fast compared to the analytically based
models. Depending on the temperature chosen as the switch over condition, it will influence the
annual free cooling potential. Depending upon their size, the type of propeller fans. Wet bulb
temperature is an important factor in performance of evaporative water cooling equipment, because it
is the. The Tower Tech tower design prevents unnecessary “wastage” of inhibitor. The total approach
is of course only important during the warmer part of the year, when high cooling loads and high wet
bulb temperatures occur simultaneously. The Induced Flow Cooling Tower offers the following
advantages. Classifying cooling towers is a little complicated. There are a number of mechanisms by
which the Tower Tech design facilitates efficient, lower cost water treatment and usage. The bottom
of the tower is where the air inlet is located. Read more about VIRIDIS Hybrid Cooling Towers here.
If the fans are big enough then it may cause the motion of the air to become non-uniform while it
passes through the fill material. Water Outlet Temperature (t6) oC 16.4 18.6 21.3 23.9 16.28 18.7

temperature span. If the water treatment system has been required at this part of the cooling tower
water process, you should rest assured that the technology would be removing the silica and hardness
along with adjusting or stabilizing the pH balance. The actual approach varies with the ambient wet
bulb temperature and the cooling load, see figure 3.1. ? Cooling load characteristics; how the cooling
load varies diurnal and annual determines the required load on the cooling tower. The variation of
the COP over a year is from close to zero to about 100. Obtaining the results in this thesis, and write
it, has been possible only by support from several people and organisations. Design Primary Range

Corridors 15 m N Page 89. The design cooling capacity for the chilled ceiling is unfortunately not
mentioned. The analysis is made through simulations of a section of an office floor. For a complete
presentation of all equations of the CTM, see appendix A. Figure 4.3 shows the layout and basic
terms in the cooling tower model. Cons of Atmospheric Cooling Towers: It is not used for high-
capacity thermal plants as the cooling range is limited, wind losses are high, and there is no control
over the outlet temperature of the water. 2. Natural Draft Cooling Towers: To cool the water, it uses a
heat exchanger that lets it come into contact with fresh air. A design UA-value is very seldom known
by the user, especially in the early stages of the building design phase. The numerical execution is
handled by a general-purpose equation solver (IDA Solver). Inlet pressure is given as reference
pressure for massflow circuit. An example of a principal hybrid cooling tower can be seen in figure
2.7. Wet mode is activated, i.e. the spray water pump is started, when the dry bulb temperature of the
ambient air is too high for sufficient heat rejection. High flow rates placed perpendicular to the
diffusion of nutrients into biofilm will impair the transport of nutrients and removal of metabolic by-
products. The ASHRAE model is supplemented with different modes and different control strategies
for part load control. Since water is continually lost by evaporation, cooling tower systems require
large amounts of make-up water to stay in balance.
