Piping condenser cooling tower losses and valves.
Cooling tower pump sizing.
Wpi can provide you with a pump to supply you process or application.
Sizing the tower water pump can be a challenge too.
Pumps are typically sized for 65 feet of head.
In order to understand how these factors influence cooling tower size it is first necessary to give the terms some context.
Include a fouling factor on pipes when sizing your pump.
For the tower piping circuit the pump must overcome the piping flow friction loss.
Flow rate in gpm.
Flow feet of rise run line loss pressure loss in process equipment and pressure loss in any utilized integrated.
Heat load range approach and wet bulb temperature.
For most wet cooling tower applications optimum cooling tower size may be determined by a combination of four different metrics.
Furthermore whaley designs and builds cooling tower pump tank systems and chilled water pump tanks.
Remember ashrae now assigns a maximum pipe size on cooling tower condenser water systems.
C approach to wet bulb temperature d mass flowrate of water circulation rate.
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.
Heat load btu hr gpm x 500 x.
The following design data is required to select cooling towers.
Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the working fluid to near the wet bulb air temperature or in the case of closed circuit dry cooling towers rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near.
Cooling tower sizing program.
Keep in mind that you need the pump to develop enough pressure to get water to the highest and farthest places in the plant.
We can help you size your pump based on your requirements.
Size the pump discharge piping per ashrae 90 1 2010 design tables.
The required cooling tower design and size will be a function of following values.
B web bulb temperature.
If you don t size the pressure drop right it won t get there.
