Cooling Towers Principles And Practice Pdf [better] (Web)

Unlike a radiator that uses only air to cool water (dry cooling), an evaporative cooling tower uses the phase change of water. When a small percentage of recirculating water evaporates, it absorbs the heat of vaporization (approximately 2,257 kJ/kg or 970 Btu/lb) from the remaining water. Consequently, the bulk water temperature drops.
