Approach Temperature of Cooling Tower
Approach Temperature of Cooling Tower
(OP)
Approach Temperature is the temperature difference between the temperature of the cooling water leaving the cooling tower and the wet bulb temperature of the air entering the cooling tower
I would like to seek someone help whether high approach temperature can optimize the power consumption of variable speed cooling tower.

RE: Approach Temperature of Cooling Tower
I would go with a larger tower (with a lower approach) to get the best efficiency. I would typically design a tower with an approach of 3-5 degrees, depending on size restrictions.
