Water Cooling Tower Apparatus

Product Description

He apparatus consists of a forced draught, counter flow type cooling tower. Cooling air is

supplied by a blower. Air enters the tower at the bottom. Hot water is obtained from a water

heater. Hot water is sprayed over the mesh packing through the nozzles and it flows down wards. Evaporative cooling of water occurs due to the current of air and water gets cooled. The student can study the operation of cooling tower and calculate the energy balance.
