Estimation of the distribution of water and air flows in a laboratory cooling tower

A decrease in the efficiency of the tower cooling tower of the TPP was found, especially in the summer. It has been proposed that one of the reasons for the decrease in productivity may be uneven distribution of flows. Experimental studies of the density distribution of irrigation water and air flow...

description A decrease in the efficiency of the tower cooling tower of the TPP was found, especially in the summer. It has been proposed that one of the reasons for the decrease in productivity may be uneven distribution of flows. Experimental studies of the density distribution of irrigation water and air flow of a tower cooling tower have been carried out. The actual operating characteristics of the cooling device are obtained taking into account the uneven flow. Due to the influence of internal and external factors on the performance of the full- scale tower, it was decided to check the performance at its laboratory installation. An experimental analysis of the distribution of irrigation density and air velocity was performed on a laboratory model of a cooling tower. The experimental characteristics of the full-scale tower cooling tower in a laboratory installation were confirmed: the dependence of air speed, temperature drop of water and cooling power on the distribution of irrigation density. Taking into account the uneven flow of water and air is an important task in the design and operation of tower towers. The problem of rational distribution of irrigation density and air flow in a tower cooling tower is formulated.
