    Where does the water go when it's drained ? Is it reused somewhere or does it just go to the sewer? Also, where does the new, fresh water come from? If the building is connected to the city water supply, is that where the new water comes from? Is that usually connected at the chiller ?

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  Рік тому +1

      It goes to the sewer, it comes from the water main. It enters near the pressurisation unit. See our video on chilled water schematics

      It collides with the surface so the impact and pressure change, the material will be a cooler temperature also.

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  6 років тому

      most have fans on the top but some will use ground mounted fans which sit at the side and blow air inside, these are usually used when the cooling tower would exceed height restrictions for local building regulations so shorter towers are needed

  • @mihail7185
    @mihail7185 4 роки тому

    Hi, if the water supply to the cooling tower (specified on the chiller's schematic) is 2000L/h, does that mean that 2000L of warm water are lost to the environment every hour? Is it worth trying to recover somehow? (asking for an academic group project that aims to recover heat/water from a chiller)
    Thank you..

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  4 роки тому

      No it will recycle the water, a much smaller amount is lost to evaporation. You can reclaim some heat yes.

  • @michaelmooney3369

  • @kieranveres7498
    @kieranveres7498 5 місяців тому

    why does water evaporate? If the intended purpose for the water is to get colder instead of hotter?

    • @tamiriraishenyevera8923
      @tamiriraishenyevera8923 3 місяці тому

      Evaporation takes heat away from the water, hence there are drift eliminators that still condense that moisture and cool the water, which is the main purpose
