Cooling Tower plume formation
Cooling Tower plume formation
(OP)
Could someone, please, point me where I can find algorithm or formulas to calculated when and if future cooling tower would produce plume. Provided all ambient climatic conditions and cooling tower performance data are known factors.

your Q is not clear are u talking about the Fan blades of cooling tower.
RE: Cooling Tower plume formation
That is if CFM x .69143 x (gr/lb humidity at saturation at ambient db - gr/lb humidity of ambient air) < Btuh heat rejection.
Where CFM = cooling tower fan CFM
gr/lb = grains per lb = 7000 x lb moisture/lb dry air
Btuh heat rejection = Cooling load Btu/hr + Compressor input in Btu/hr

It is fan blade Cooling Tower. Open cycle CW system for Co-Generation plant.
However I think lilliput1 has answered my question. I just have to convert it into metric system.
Thanks.

I am interested in potential plume only. We believed we can eliminate drift with better then 0.001% drift eliminators provided by CT supplier.

This may be of some us to you.
