Thermal-flow Study of Closed Cooling System with Cooling Towers

The paper presents the thermal-flow study of closed cooling system with special emphasis on the working parameters of the cooling tower. The uniqueness of the analysis lays in measurement done inside the working cooling tower to identify thermal-flow processes across its radius. Next, the analysis of a cooling water temperature drop, in the cooling system cooperated with a set of cooling towers, is considered. As an example of these studies there are proposed the optimal cooling water flow rates between two cooling towers to achieve the highest possible water temperature difference in cooling system.
