Closed cooling tower drift water volume: key parameters and their influencing factors

As an indispensable cooling equipment in modern industry, the performance parameters of closed cooling towers are directly related to the cooling effect and operating efficiency. Among them, the amount of drift water, as an important parameter of this equipment, has an important impact on the operating stability and water resource utilization of the cooling tower.

The amount of drift water refers to the amount of cooling water that drifts out of the tower due to factors such as wind force, water droplet size and distribution, and filler structure during the operation of the closed cooling tower. This parameter not only concerns the problem of water resource waste, but also directly affects the operating cost and environmental impact of the equipment.

In practical applications, the amount of drift water in closed cooling towers is affected by many factors:

1. Wind speed is one of the main factors affecting the amount of drift water. The greater the wind speed, the easier it is for water droplets to be blown out of the tower, resulting in an increase in the amount of drift water.

2. The size and distribution of water droplets will also affect the amount of drift water. The smaller the water droplets, the easier it is to drift; and uneven distribution of water droplets can also easily lead to an increase in the amount of drift water in some areas.

3. Factors such as the structure and material of the cooling tower filler will also have some impact on the amount of drift water.

In order to reduce the amount of drift water in closed cooling towers, a series of measures can be taken. For example, optimize the filler structure to improve the uniformity of water droplet distribution; strengthen the sealing of the tower body to reduce the impact of wind on water droplets; reasonably control the flow rate and flow of cooling water to avoid excessive impact force causing water droplets to drift, etc.

In summary, the amount of drift water in closed cooling towers is a parameter that needs to be paid attention to. By reasonably designing and optimizing the cooling tower structure and taking effective control measures, the amount of drift water can be reduced, and the operating efficiency and water-saving performance of the equipment can be improved.
