THE WAYS OF RATIONAL USE OF COOLING TOWERS

Operated the cooling tower must meet a number of requirements - technical, operational and economic. In the techno-logical cycles, where chilled water is used to produce final products, such as chemical and petrochemical production, production of mineral fertilizers, dairy, incorrectly selected cooling method or incorrectly designed cooling tower can reduce the yield of the final product in 1.5 - 2 times with a simultaneous deterioration of product quality. Special poignancy this problem gets in the summer, as the efficiency of the production process depends on the temperature of the chilled water. Purpose. To consider the main criteria that should be guided with the choice of method for recon-struction of cooling towers with the purpose of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of their operation. Conclusion. After analyzing the different ways of rational use of cooling towers, the coefficient of efficiency of water cooling as the ratio of the amount of cooling water to its theoretical limit cooling was presented. Energy efficiency is only possible in the system of the cooling tower is cooled object, so the correct selection of equipment and coordinated their work is the key to lower operating costs. At the same time only the correct choice type cooling towers, sprinkler and fan will allow you to get a workable system that will be flexible to respond to changes both external conditions, and the thermal load of the production process.
