Forced Draught Cooling Tower

quick overview :

Forced Draught Cooling Tower

Range Of Experiments

• To determine Volumetric mass transfer coefficient ( hd.a ) for air, water
• system in a cooling tower.
• To study the temperature distribution along the height of the tower.
• The experiments can be conducted at various flow rates of Air & Water & calculation can be made accordingly.
• Experiment can be conduct on both Induced & Forced Draught condition.
• To determine & compare the efficiency of the tower from Induced & Forced Draught condition.
