Description

CTc Cooling Tower Apparatus Educational Equipment Chemical Engineering

This equipment has been designed to experience with the construction principles and operational characteristics of cooling towers and it mainly consists of a packed tower of transparent metacrylate.

TRAINING PROGRAM

This unit enables to deepen the following issues:

• Fluodynamics of different packings with different flow ratesof air and water
• Measurement of operational parameters in steady-stateconditions
• Representation of the state of the system on psychrometricchart and energy balance
• Effect of the packing surface on the approach to wet bulband on the pressure drops
• Performance with different cooling loads and inlettemperatures

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

• Rectangular tower of Plexiglas; height of 550 mm
• 3 packings of different specific surface (92, 131 and235 m2/m3) being included in the tower and easilyinterchangeable
• Additional water tank of Plexiglas, with capacity of 1 litre
• Centrifugal fan, with max. flow rate of 1340 m3/h andmaximum head of 80 mmH2O
• Tank of AISI 304 stainless steel for hot water, with capacity of 9 litres and 3 electric heaters of 500 W
• Pump for water, Qmax = 3 m3/h, Hmax = 5 m H2O
• Switchboard IP55, complying with EC standards andincluding digital thermostat, fan controls, resistorsand ELCB
