Abstract
Cooling tower is a type of direct contact heat exchanger, inside of which heat is withdrawn from water to air. In this research experimental study of the performance of forced draft counter flow cooling tower at different conditions and different operating parameters. The study was conducted for different water inlet temperature, different water flow rate, different air flow rate, differentinjection holes diameter, different interval distance between injection holes and different types of packing. The results obtained indicate an increase cooling tower efficiency with the increase of water inlet temperature, air flow rate, interval distance between injection holes while it is decreased with the increase of injection holes diameter and water flow rate. The packing of metal mesh has highest efficiency. The efficiency of cooling tower with metal packing is higher than that with plastic cells by 5.6%, with that of Kraft paper by 40.4% and with the case of no packing by 51.8 %. However, the packing metal mesh is highest in pressure drop of other the types.
