USING POOL WATER AS A HEAT SINK Instead of cooling tower
(OP)
Hai,
is it possible to use pool water (10m X 10m X 1m) volume pumped & recirculated to a water falls.the idea is to use this pool water in water cooled chiller instead of cooling tower. The flow rate required for electrical is 45CMH & inlet/outlet Temperature is 34/39 Deg C. The heat rejected is 192755 Kcal/Hr. the pool water is available at 32 Degc.
please guide me how we do the calculation to check is it possible or not

1. I worry about the chemical treatment of your water fall and pool. Lots of contaminated water in the surrounding environment.
2. Without some kind of fan (iunduced or forced draft), you will be vey limited in heat rejection, especially since your atmospheric temperature is close to saturation at 30C wet bulb.

Yes its in gulf countries . instead of cooling tower we thought to use this pool water as a measure of water conservation.
could you help me in doing the calculation like using a large water storage as a heat sink instead of cooling towers.

See if you can figure out a way to heat up the water going to the waterfalls to your supposed Hx outlet temperature and see what temperature it returns at.

I can see you from here, you are pressed to come up with some serious LEED points, and you really want to contribute, which is nice, very nice on your part.
Can't you consider some type of chemical free water treatment? such as the Dolphin water treatment system.
Use your pool water for make-up to the tower. Those are the kind of green features I'd pursue instead of jopardizing the system's operability.
In addition, your blow-down will be reduced and chemical free. You could reclaim the blow-down for site irrigation (a big deal in that part of the world).
But I would not try to eliminate the cooling tower altogether.

I would add that if complete load cannot be satisfied, geothermal to reduce the load might still be acceptable.

It's mostly latent exchange and it's a lot higher that you would guess.
