Cooling tower capacity @ fan failure
- Thread starter abcmex
- Start date
You will get a stack effect from delta T depending upon tower size and configuration and air DB temps. (air density hot - air density cold)/height of stack.
With the calculated stack effect, you can subtract the air pressure drop for tower fill. There will be a pressure difference and it will be small.
Leaving air will be saturated if the pump doesn't fail, too. There will be a latent and dry-bulb component to the capacity.
