1 Fresh Air Load Calculation 2 Fresh Air Load Calculation Job: Holiday Inn - Summer Job: Holiday Inn - Monsoon Date 03.10.10 Date 03.10.10

The documents provide calculations for the fresh air load and blowdown of cooling towers. For the fresh air load calculation, it calculates the total heat removal (TR) needed based on factors like fresh air CFM, enthalpy difference between fresh and supply air, using the psychrometric properties of the outside and supply air conditions. For the cooling tower blowdown calculation, it determines the minimum blowdown needed to maintain a target cycles of concentration based on the evaporation rate, drift loss, and cycles of concentration for the system. The example calculates a blowdown rate of 2.383 liters per hour for a 600 ton tower with a flow rate of 1800 GPM, 10°F range, and target

BLOW DOWN = {E-[(C-1) x D]}
C-1

E= Evaporation in GPM (If not accurately known can be approximated as flow rate in gpm x Range
C= Cycles of concentration , depends on quality of water
D= Drift Loss in GPM (approximately Total flow rate x 0.0005)

If levels of Chloride in the make up water is say 250 PPM, and we do not want PPM levels to go beyond 750, then,
Cycles of concentration is 750 / 250 = 3
Example : 600 TR Tower @ 3 USGPM / TR
Flow rate = 600 x 3 = 1800 GPM
Range = 10 ˚ F
Cycles of concentration = 3

Therefore, Blowdown = {E-[(C-1) x D]}


C-1

E = 1800 x 10˚ F x 0.0008 = 14.4 gpm 5.45 Lts / TR - HR


C= 3
D = 1800 x 0.0005 = 0.9 gpm/600 TR or 0.34 lts / Tr -

Therefore Blow down = {14.4 - [2 x 0.9]} 12.6 6.3 GPM or


2 2

Evaporation E 5.45 Lts / HR - TR


Blowdown BD 2.383 Lts / HR - TR
Drift Loss D 0.34 Lts / HR - TR
Total water loss 8.173 Lts / HR - TR
roximated as flow rate in gpm x Range x 0.0008

ant PPM levels to go beyond 750, then,

2.383 Lts / TR - HR
