Cooling Tower Energy & Operating Cost Analysis Software
نویسنده
چکیده
The Cooling Tower Energy & Operating Cost Analysis Software is an in-house program developed by Tower Tech and is used to design and evaluate the performance and life-cycle costs associated with a cooling tower. This version can be used to estimate the cost to purchase and operate a Tower Tech cooling tower and a competitor’s tower. A number of assumptions about the details of the competitor’s tower are made since detailed information may not be readily available. Also, a number of simplifying assumptions about both configurations and the operating conditions are made to reduce the scope of the problem. As such, the estimates of the costs accrued may not precisely reflect the customer’s true cost, however, the relative magnitude between Tower Tech’s and their competitor’s tower should give an indication of the potential savings and allow the customer to make informed inquiries.

Beginning with a discussion of energy and exergy analysis definitions, the presented study provides a descriptive mathematical model for energy and exergy analysis for a co-current gas cooling tower. For this purpose using conservation laws of mass, energy and momentum, the variation of temperature and enthalpy of gas and liquid streams are predicted along the tower length and are used in order...

A shower cooling tower (SCT) operates without fill because of salt decomposition on the fill that leads to deterioration of conventional cooling tower performance. This study presents a two-dimensional mathematical model for energy and exergy analysis of multi-diameter droplets and air interaction along with the height of the forced draft SCT, to predict the exit condition of water droplet for ...

This paper presents a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for the optimal design of mechanical counter-flow cooling towers, subjected to standard design constraints. The objective function consists of the minimization of the total annual cost, which includes the capital cost of the cooling tower (that depends on the filling material and the air flowrate) and the operating cost (th...
