SPECIFICATION

Tesca Basic Water Cooling Tower has been designed to give students an appreciation of the construction, design, and operational characteristics of a modern evaporative cooling system. The unit is also an excellent example of an 'open system' through which two streams of fluid flow (water and air) and in which there is a mass transfer from one stream to the other.
Study of the different parameters of the Cooling Tower system & its calculation is the focus of this trainer. The system has the unique feature of demonstrating heat transfer by cooling tower process including water to air heat transfer. Tesca has designed the system in such a faction that heat transfer by cooling tower principle & its components can be easily understood. The system can easily operate; demonstrated & requisite experimentation can be performed. The system is manufactured from components used in cooling towers used in Industry. The system is mounted powder coated M.S. Structure. The system is self-sufficient for experimentations & study of the cooling towers.

Convincing energy and mass balances are obtained and students can quickly investigate the effects of:
Air flow rate
Water flow rate
Water temperature
Cooling load
Packing density
On the performance of a cooling tower.

System Features:
Mobile, compact, comprehensive, sturdy design
Complete instrumentation for the Study of the Cooling Tower process.
Analysis of heat transfer through Cooling Tower.
Fault Trainer as optional attachments.
