Objectives Control: Cooling towers Multizone vs. Single system VAV vs. CAV Cooling towers
Cooling towes Similarity and difference between Evaporative coolers and Cooing towers
Cooling Tower Similar to an evaporative cooler, but the purpose is often to cool water Widely used for heat rejection in HVAC systems Also used to reject industrial process heat
Cooling Tower
Solution Can get from Stevens diagram (page 272) Can also be used to determine Minimum water temperature Volume of tower required
Summary Heat rejection is often accomplished with devices that have direct contact between air and water Evaporative cooling Can construct analysis of these devices Requires parameters which need to be measured for a specific system
