INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER
INTRODUCTION
Over heating of machine elements is common problem in industry. It is caused due
to continuous operation of machine and atmospheric conditions of the surroundings.
Operation cannot be stopped or in other words the machine cannot be given time to be
cooled down and therefore there has to be provision for cooling. Water is the best cooling
medium as it is cheap and available in abundance. However it has to be noted that
continuous flow of fresh water to the machine is not advisable as it creates great waste.
Cooling tower is used to fulfil the purpose of cooling with minimum usage of fresh
water. It circulates fresh water for cooling to the machine and uses least make up water
that is lost due to evaporation. Apart from industry cooled water is needed for, for example,
air conditioners, or power generation. A cooling tower is the equipment used to reduce the
temperature of a water stream by extracting heat from water and emitting it to the
atmosphere. Cooling towers make use of evaporation whereby some of the water is
evaporated into a moving air stream and subsequently discharged into the atmosphere. As
a result, the remainder of the water is cooled down significantly as shown in the figure.
Cooling towers are able to lower the water temperatures more than devices that use only
air to reject heat, like the radiator in a car, and are therefore more cost-effective and energy
efficient.

INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER
DEFINITIONS
 WHAT IS A COOLING TOWER?
A cooling tower is a heat rejection device, which extracts waste heat to the
atmosphere though the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature. Common
applications for cooling towers are providing cooled water for air-conditioning,
manufacturing and electric power generation. The generic term "cooling tower" is used to
describe both direct (open circuit) and indirect (closed circuit) heat rejection equipment. A
direct, or open-circuit cooling tower is an enclosed structure with internal means to
distribute the warm water fed to it over a labyrinth-like packing or "fill." The fill may consist
of multiple, mainly vertical, wetted surfaces upon which a thin film of water spreads. An
indirect, or closed circuit cooling tower involves no direct contact of the air and the fluid,
usually water or a glycol mixture, being cooled. In a counter-flow cooling tower air travels
upward through the fill or tube bundles, opposite to the downward motion of the water. In a
cross-flow cooling tower air moves horizontally through the fill as the water moves
downward. Cooling towers are also characterized by the means by which air is moved.
Because evaporation consists of pure water, the concentration of dissolved minerals and
other solids in circulating water will tend to increase unless some means of dissolved-solids
control, such as blow-down, is provided. Some water is also lost by droplets being carried
out with the exhaust air (drift)

INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER
WORKING PRINCIPLE OF INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER
Cooling tower is essentially a heat and mass transfer device. It removes
heat from the water and loses a fraction of water during heat transfer to the air. When air is
blown from downwards it came in contact with upcoming water the enthalpy of which is
higher and at the time of contact this air causes evaporation of water droplet. It is known
that in order to get evaporated water requires to gain certain amount of latent heat. It does
so from nearby droplet and evaporates into vapour form. Due to removal of sensible heat,
remaining water droplets loses temperature and cools down. Due to higher surface area in
packing heat transfer rate increases and water is further cooled to the require temperature.
Air moving upward takes away certain amount of water content in (vapour form) with it
which is not desirable. In order to recover lost water drift eliminators are provided.
Upcoming air loses their velocity and causes certain amount of vapour to be converted into
water. The water falls downward and collected in the basin.

FAN :
The Axial flow fan consists of cast Aluminum or FRP variable pitch aerofoil blades fitted
on a M.S. hot dip galvanized hub with S.S. 304 "U" bolts & nuts. The balanced fan
assembly is mounted directly on the shaft of weather proof, flanged motor.
WATER DISTRIBUTION
These spray water to wet the fill. Uniform water distribution at the top of the fill is
essential to achieve proper wetting of the entire fill surface. Nozzles can either be fixed and
spray in a round or square patterns, or they can be part of a rotating assembly as found in
some circular cross-section towers.

DRIFT ELIMINATORS:
These capture water droplets entrapped in the air stream that otherwise would be
lost to the atmosphere.
Air inlet:
This is the point of entry for the air entering a tower. The inlet may take up an entire
side of a tower (cross-flow design) or be located low on the side or the bottom of the tower
(counter-flow design).

DESIGN CALCULATION
•
Cooling tower approach (cta)
CTA = T2 – WBT = 32 – 29 = 3 0C
•
Cooling tower range (ctr)
CTR = T1 – T2 = 38 – 32 = 6 0C
•
Mass of water circulated in cooling tower
Mw1 = Volume of circulating water x Mass density of water
Mw1 = 3.8 x 1000
Mw1 = 3800 Kg / hr
•
Heat loss by water (HL)
HL = Mw1 x Cpw x (T 1 – T 2 )
HL = 3800 x 4.186 x (38 - 32)
HL = 99440.8 KJ / hr
•
Volume of air required (G)
G = (HL x Gs1) / [(Ha2 – Ha1) - (W2 – W1) x Cpw x T2]
G = (99440.8 x 0.842) / [(73 - 50) – (0.018 – 0.0118) x 4.186 x 32]
G = 3776.69 m3 / hr
•
Mass of air required (Ma)
Ma = Volume of air required / Specific volume of air at inlet temperature
Ma = G / Gs1
Ma = 4485 Kg / hr
Based on above data power calculation can be calculated as follows,
Fan power = Air Volume (in ACFM) X Total Pressure in inch / 6356
=2223X0.6434/6356
=0.25 HP
=0.25 X 746 watts
=186.5 watts

INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER
PROCEDURE FOR THE EXPERIMENT
Initially tower performance will be determined by considering anonymous range and later
on it will be compared with the experimental one.
Range considered for the cooling tower is 38-32=6 c; where 38 is inlet temperature and 32
is outlet temperature.
Following equation is used to determine cooling tower efficiency which is known as the
merkel equation.
KaV/L = [(T1 – T2) / 4] x {(1 /Δ h1) + (1 / Δ h2) + (1 / Δ h3) + (1 / Δ h4)}
Where,
K = Mass transfer co-efficient (Kg / hr m2);
V = Active cooling volume (m3);
T 1 = water temperature entering the cooling tower, 0C;
T 2 = water temperature leaving the cooling tower, 0C;
h w = enthalpy of saturated air at water temperature, kJ/(kg of dry air);
h a = enthalpy of air, kJ/(kg of dry air);
a = total area of wetted surface includes the surface area of water drops as well as wetted
slats or other fill material, m2;
L = water mass flow rate, kg/s;
Now,
Δ h1 = Value of Hw - Ha at T2 + 0.1 (T1 – T2)
Δ h2 = Value of Hw - Ha at T2 + 0.4 (T1 – T2)
Δ h3 = Value of Hw - Ha at T1 - 0.4 (T1 – T2)
Δ h4 = Value of Hw - Ha at T1 - 0.1 (T1 – T2)
Calculation gives the following value for cooling tower performance
KaV / L = 0.1540
EFFICIENCY OF COOLING TOWER
N = (T1 – T2) / (T1 – WBT)
N = (38 - 32) / (38 - 29)
N = 66.67 %
EFFECTIVENESS OF COOLING TOWER
P = (T1 – T2) / (T1 – Ta1)
P = (38 - 32) / (38 - 20)
P=0.33

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGE
Advantages:The main advantage is that coldest water comes in contact with the direct air & warmest
water comes in contact with most humid air.
•
The re-circulation is seldom a problem with this tower as outlet a discharge the
heated & humidity away from air enters below the tower.
•
The size of 20 in diameter can be used.
•
Claims are made that the ID fan tower has the advantage of tower first cool, requires
less space, and is capable of cooling through a wide range.
•
The first cost is lower due to the reduction in pump capacity required & smallest
length of water pipes. The power consumption per kg. of water cooled is less
compared with FD fan system
Disadvantages:•
The static pressure loss is higher as restricted are at base tends to above off the
flow of high velocity air. This requires higher HPmotor to drive the fan compared with
forced draft handling equipment.
•
The air velocities through the packing are contently distributed & it has very little
movement near the walls & center of the tower.

INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER
CONCLUSIONS
The described study allows site-specific scenario calculations for the possible
development of water temperatures and the related impacts on the power plant cooling
system: these are e.g. cooling water temperature, heat discharge to the river or additional
operation costs due to high temperatures and low water levels. Therefore, the model will
provide a basis for site-specific adaptation measures.
Temperature inversions reduce a particular natural draft wetcooling tower heat
rejection by approximately 20% in winter and by approximately 8% in summer. The
reduction in tower performance due to the adversely affected pressure differential (draft
equation) on the outside of the tower, during temperature inversions, accounts for
approximately 20% of the total loss and the increased effective inlet temperature (transfer
process) for approximately 80% of the reduction in tower performance.
