Abstract

IWT Journal: Some of our readers are interested in learning more about cooling tower operation. We often hear about “cycles of concentration.” What are cycles of concentration in a cooling tower?

They achieve their purpose by rejecting waste heat to the atmosphere by latent and sensible heat transfer. Approximately 0.1% of the water that flows through the cooling tower is evaporated for every 1 degree temperature drop across the tower.
