Cooling Tower Apparatus Technical Education Equipment

CT Cooling Tower Apparatus Technical Education Equipment

This equipment has been designed to experience with the construction principles and operational characteristics of cooling towers and it mainly consists of a packed tower of transparent metacrylate.
TRAINING PROGRAM
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Fluodynamics of different packings with different flow rates of air and water
• Measurement of operational parameters in steady-state conditions
• Representation of the state of the system on psychrometric chart and energy balance
• Effect of the packing surface on the approach to wet bulb and on the pressure drops
• Performance with different cooling loads and inlet temperatures
