Cooling towers heat removal devices that transfer heat from the process to air are called heat exchangers. Cooling towers may use water vapor to remove heat or cool the working liquid to near the cool-bulb atmosphere temperature. Closed-circuit cooling towers rely entirely on air to cool working fluid.
Cooling the circulating water in power stations, oil refineries and chemical plants is a common application. Industrial cooling towers can also be used to remove heat, from machinery or heated material. Industrial cooling towers are designed to remove heat from large-scale cooling systems. They can be used for various purposes, including power plants or petroleum refineries. Convection and evaporation heat dissipate heat from water bodies. This provides an advantage by allowing water to be chilled to temperatures lower than that of a dry bulb. The cooling capacity can be increased by using a mechanical draft cooling fan.
The cooling tower was constructed using local materials like mild iron sheets, pipes, fittings, extraction fan and angle iron. There were many production methods used, including cutting, welding and drilling, as well as plumbing. Fill materials increase the liquid-gas contact. It is necessary to increase the heat transfer between liquids and gases in order to increase the L/G. This project has the ultimate goal of fabricating and performing analysis of an induced forced- draft cooling tower. The use of induced forced fan can reduce the amount of waste water.
