Calculation Manual for Spray Cooling Towers and Packed Cooling Towers
Thread Content
Does anyone know which textbooks can be referred to for the calculations of material and energy balance in spray cooling towers and fill cooling towers, as well as for the calculation of tower diameter and height? Thank you
Regarding the calculation for the filler, you need to consult the manufacturer of the filler; they have performance curves for the filler, and you can determine the appropriate depth of the filler using those curves. As for the diameter of the tower, it depends on the manufacturer – generally, the wind speed passing through the tower should be within 2.5 m/s, and in more stringent cases, within 1.5 m/s. The diameter of the tower can be calculated using the formula Q=AV. As for the height of the tower, this varies depending on whether it is a horizontal or vertical scrubber tower; let’s take the vertical type as an example. Its height is approximately equal to the height of the water tank at the bottom, plus the height of the inlet, plus the height of the filler layer (including the grid and nozzles), plus the height of the demisting layer, and finally the height of the outlet cone.
