Air-cooled towers and water-cooled towers
Thread Content
Dear sea friends. I have a question for everyone: Everyone is pretty familiar with the principle of water cooling towers, which involves using the unsaturation of water in the contaminated nitrogen gas to cause the water to evaporate; heat is absorbed during this evaporation process, thereby reducing the water temperature ； But in an air-cooled tower, there is also gas-liquid contact, and the air is also unsaturated; then why doesn’t the moisture evaporate in the air-cooled tower? Isn’t the moisture content in the air also unsaturated? Confusion. . .
As air flows through an air cooling tower, its temperature decreases, and accordingly the saturated moisture content drops; the excess moisture then precipitates from the gas in liquid form. This portion of water vapor condenses into water, releasing latent heat of condensation; this not only increases the amount of cooling water but also raises the water temperature. Water is removed from the air after passing through the cooling tower. Read more Q&A on oxygen production workers; it’s explained very clearly there.
Thank you so much; you are a kind person. :lol. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The air compressor increases the pressure of the air, while the air-cooling tower reduces its temperature; as a result, the saturated water content in the air decreases, and water begins to precipitate.
Is the air in the air-cooled tower unsaturated air? I always thought it was a saturated field of study*
