the foundation under the cooling tower and its pump should be from concreat

 

check the area first if its a small area we use water cooled not air cooled

check the availability of water

You can decide whether to go for water cooled condenser or not based on below conditions 

1. Size of cooling load TR (more than 250 TR air cooled is preferred, More than 500 TR water cooled condenser is preferred)

2. Application for cooling requirement

3. Type of usage like 24/7 or only day time

4. Space available for cooling tower

5. Capex and Opex limits

 and last but not the least 7. Water availability & cost of water purchase, and recycle.

To select the type first-induced or forced,cross flow or parallel flow etc based on the inlet water temperatiure from chiller and deltaT.

the main parameters to choose water cooled condensers are

  • the water source avilablability
  • the cost reguired for cooling system
  • the weather condition at the location of the project
  • the space avilable for the condensre (indoor / outdoor)

huge area.

1. IF WE NEED A LARGE CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING
