Effect of environmental parameters on operation of Ramin planet cooling towers with using different packings

Authors

Abstract

In this paper After obtain Operation point of Ramin plant  cooling towers with using different packing, thermodynamic properties of ambient air was considered  and effect of them on tower performance in present conditions and after packing substitute were investigated. The results of simulation show that when the wet bulb temperature is increased with relative humidity of air, led to increase outlet water temperature and decrease efficiency of tower.
In addition to, dry bulb temperature variation doesn't have any effect on outlet water temperature and efficiency of tower.
Finally the tower effectiveness with new packing is increased until 20% in compare to present packing.
