4 General A cooling tower , like any heat exchanger , exchanges all heat imposed upon it from one fluid to another fluid. For a cooling tower , heat from the water is put into the air . The plant process replenishes the heat to the water , typically at another heat exchanger such as a condenser . A cooling tower differs fr om many heat exchangers ...

7 Initial Starting Pr ocedure 1— Fill the cold water basin and circulating water system to a level 1/2” (13 mm) below the overflow . 2— Bypass valve should be closed unless start-up is in cold weather . (See Routine Starting Procedur e on page 8.) 3— Prime and start the circulating water pumps one at a time. Increase the flow of circulati ...

11 Fr eezing W eather Operation During periods of low ambient air temperatures, 35°F to 40°F (2°C to 4°C) or below , it is advisable to maintain the cold water temperature at or above 70°F (21°C) to retar d the formation of ice and to assist in its control. The methods used in Minimizing T ower Energy Use, described on page 13 are those which ...

12 Fr eezing W eather Operation • Under extended extreme cold conditions, it may be necessary to operate the fan in reverse. This forces warm air out through the air inlets, melt- ing any accumulated ice. Reversal may be at either full or half speed; however , full speed is r ecommended if adequate heat load is available. Reverse operation of the ...

18 Blowdown Blowdown, or bleed-off is the continuous removal of a portion of the water from the cir culating system. It is used to prevent dissolved solids from concentrating to the point where they will form scale. The amount of blowdown required depends upon the cooling range (design hot water temperature minus design cold water temperatur e) and ...
