Chapter 48, Problem 1RQ
What is the purpose of the cooling tower in a water-cooled system?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The use of cooling tower in a water-cooled system.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
A cooling tower in water cooled system is used to reject thewaste heat into the atmosphere with the help of cooled air.
Explanation of Solution
A water-cooled system is used to cool the water directly by the evaporator coil.
Water cooling system consist of water pump, fan, radiator cap, water jacket, thermostat valve and temperature gauge.
Cooling tower uses the evaporation of water to remove heat and to cool the working fluid.
A cooling tower in water cooled system is used to reject the waste heat into the atmosphere with the help of cooled air. This is the evaporative type heat rejection system.
The function of cooling tower is like a heat exchanger which exchange the heat between hot water and cooled air. The heat from water transferred to air and it rises the air temperature then dischargeto atmosphere.
