Studies on Thermal Performance Analysis on Cooling Towers - A Review
Keywords:
Cooling towers, Thermal performance, Crosswinds, Drift eliminators, Hybrid model, Natural draft, induced draftAbstract
Cooling towers have been in use for different industrial applications for many years. These are a particular class of heat exchangers where industrial process water comes in contact with coolant air, enabling efficient heat rejection from circulating fluid-usually water. There have been many research attempts to improve the overall thermal performance of these systems to develop optimum working methodologies and address current systems' issues. This literature review is done to find out the various thermal performance analysis studies done on various industrial cooling towers.
