Description
Cooling water systems remove heat generated from a variety of industrial processes. There are three basic types of cooling water systems: once-through, open recirculating, and closed recirculating cooling water systems. This course describes once-through and open recirculating systems.
Course Outline
1. TYPES OF COOLING TOWERS
2. COOLING TOWER WATER CALCULATIONS
After completion of this course you will have a basic understanding of the types of water cooling towers and how and where they are typically employed.
- Learn about the three basic types of cooling water systems;
- Learn where once-through cooling water systems are typically used;
- Learn why recirculating cooling water systems are open to the atmosphere and continuously recycle and reuse the cooling water;
- Learn about natural draft cooling towers;
- Learn about forced-draft and induced-draft cooling towers;
- Learn how to calculate key parameters for cooling towers; and
- Learn the difference between cross-flow and counter-flow cooling towers.
