OVERVIEW TO EVAPORATION
Evaporation is a cooling process
EVAPORATIVE COOLING
In a typical cooling tower:
INTRODUCTION
What are Cooling Towers?
Heat rejection devices
Extract waste heat to atmosphere through
cooling of a process stream to a lower
temperature
In a typical cooling tower:
Warm water flows down to a countercurrent air stream.

NATURAL DRAFT
Natural Draft Cooling Tower:
No fan required
Concrete tower
Used for large heat duties
Fresh air drawn from bottom
Hot air moves up through tower
Hyperboloid is for velocity recovery of
warm humid air and vapors
MECHANICAL DRAFT
Induced Draft Counter-flow (most
common)
Fan located at top
Merits:
Capacity and approach
Less space required
Demerits:
Fan assembly balancing
Fan in hot and humid air
Noisy & Vibrations
MAJOR COMPONENTS
