Problems with the circulating water station
Thread Content
What is the water loss in the cooling towers of the circulating water station?
It depends on the size of your circulating pool. Generally, a 400 cubic meter circulating pool requires 3 to 5 tons of water to be added per hour.
There seems to be software dedicated to calculating circulating water stations, which includes information on water loss. Secondly, it is highly related to temperature and humidity; in fact, it is also related to wind conditions in the environment. According to the operators, if the wind is stronger and the humidity is lower, the amount of loss could double.
That is, evaporation amount = total volume of circulating water × (return water temperature – supply water temperature) × K. Atmospheric temperature at the tower inlet: °C –10 0 10 20 30 40; k (1/°C): 0.0008 0.0010 0.0012 0.0014 0.0015 0.0016. Loss amount = evaporation amount + splashing and scattering amount + abnormal losses (such as leaks)
This portion of loss mainly includes splashing loss and evaporation loss, and the total loss varies depending on the season； The question is too general; generally, cooling towers have some degree of splash loss. In fact, knowing the total loss isn’t helpful at all for design purposes – all you need to know is the volume of water in circulation ； Depending on the season, the same amount of water still needs to be added
