cooling towers losses
(OP)
Could someone give me a hint on the practical calculation of evaporation and drift losses in an induced draft counterflow tower?
Thanks

RE: cooling towers losses
Roughly 0.9% is considered for all practical calculations, nevertheless you can use the above method to find out evaporation losses.
With best quality drift eliminators, you consider 0.1% losses.
The blowdown can be calculated as ER/(C-1), where ER is rate of evaporation and C is cycles of concentration.
The link below gives you good concept about cooling towers.
