Cooling Tower.
For water cooled machines only.
When selecting a cooling tower, careful attention must be given
to operating wet bulb conditions. It is advisable to check with your local cooling tower distributor
for their recommendations based on actual operating conditions in your area. An average wet-bulb
of 78
° F is typical in the U.S. but many localities have design wet-bulbs as low as 72 ° F or as high as
82 ° F.
The cooling tower water pump must be capable of delivering the required volume of water through
the condenser. Due to cooling tower location and pressure drop through water lines and water
regulating valves, the pump must be sized for each installation. Refer to TABLE 11-1 for condenser
water requirements. The water piping for the cooling tower and the installation of the pump must be
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Proper water treatment for the prevention of mineral and foreign matter accumulation in the
condenser or cooling tower is recommended. A water analysis should be obtained to determine the
proper chemicals to use.
