    • @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

    @holmanyusedciprianoliveros8935 6 років тому +1

    Hello my friend, why in the cooling towers that go on the roofs, it is assumed that the refrigerant that is in temperatures around 30 ° C, having contact with the ambient air that is supposed to be at a lower temperature, the coolant will give it heat , But what happens if the ambient temperature is higher, say 35 ° c, the process does not work? Am I understanding the concept well?

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  6 років тому +1

      These are just typical temperatures. The system will be designed to meet local requirements. If it can't dump heat into the air then the chiller will fail although the temperature can be increased, check with manufacture before doing so

    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

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

  • @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.
