Water SYstem Delta T
Water SYstem Delta T
(OP)
HAs anyone experience any water system delta T as high as 50F delta??? Typical one i see is about 15F to 20F at most....The driving force for the delta T, of course, is the load,....i was told that in Europe they have systems that goes as high as 50F delta T....
By process water, i meant the water system that reject heats to the cooling tower or pond...
I appreciate any response...coments

RE: Water SYstem Delta T
In the case of hot water, the higher delta T is an effort to increase boiler efficiency. You have to have a condensing boiler to do this though. Fulton is one brand that comes to mind. If you try to do this with a regular old run of the mill water boiler, its heat exchanger will be nothing but a pile of dust in a year or two.

I would think that with this sort of high cooling water return temperature, you'd be better off recovering some of this quality heat somewhere before dumping it out the cooling tower.
