Abstract

Air-cooled heat exchangers may be used to cool the water by rejecting heat directly to the atmosphere, but the first cost and fan energy consumption of these devices are high. They are capable of economically cooling the water to within approximately 20°F of the ambient dry-bulb temperature. Such temperatures are too high for the cooling water requirements of most refrigeration systems and many industrial processes. Cooling towers overcome most of these problems and therefore are commonly used to dissipate heat from water-cooled refrigeration, air conditioning, and industrial process systems.
