9 - Cooling Tower 2014

This document discusses types of cooling towers and provides an example problem. It describes six main types of cooling towers: atmospheric spray tower, chimney-assisted natural draft towers, hyperbolic fan assisted towers, counterflow-induced draft towers, crossflow-induced draft towers, and forced draft towers. It then provides an example problem involving calculating the dimensions of a packed section and makeup water requirement for an induced-draft cooling tower based on design conditions.

Induced draft with surface precooler for very hot water; also called wet/dry tower
CONTOH SOAL
Diambil dari illustration 7.11, Treybal, 1980

A plant requires 15 kg/s (1984 lb/min) of cooling water to flow through


its distillation-equipment condensers, thereby removing 270 W (55270
Btu/min) from the condensers. The water will leave the condensers at
45 oC. It is planned to cool the water for reuse by contact with air in an
induced-draft cooling tower. The design conditions are as follows:
entering air at 30 oC dry-bulb, 24 oC wet-bulb temperature, water to be
cooled to within 5 C of the inlet-air wet-bulb temperature, i.e., to 29 oC;
an air/water-vapor ratio of 1,5 times the minimum. Makeup water will
come from a well at 10 oC, hardness 500 ppm dissolved solids. The
circulating water is not to contain more than 2000 ppm hardness. For
the packing to be used, Kya is expected to be 0,9 kg/m3.s.ΔY (202
lb/ft2.h. ΔY), for a liquid rate at least 2,7 kg/m2.s and a gas rate 2,0
kg/m2.s (1991 and 1474 lb/ft2.h, respectively. Compute the
dimensions of the packed section and the makeup water requirement.
