Process design calculations for acetylene cooling towers
Thread Content
In acetylene plants, a water-cooling tower is generally installed before the acetylene water ring compressor; some facilities use packed towers, while others use empty towers. Could you please advise on how to carry out the process calculations for water-cooled cooling towers of the empty-tower type (including equipment size calculations)? Thank you for your guidance
Are there any specific design requirements, such as inlet and outlet water temperatures, local weather conditions, etc.? It is best to describe the water quality clearly, so that it is easier to select the appropriate option.
By cooling tower, I mean the cylindrical towers used in chemical processing plants, as opposed to the cooling towers used in water treatment systems (those with fans and blades on top).
The same conditions mentioned on the second floor are also required
What should the empty tower gas velocity for this tower be set at?
