Abstract

This paper studies the affect of tropical weather on the thermal capability of cooling towers constructed in the ARABIAN GULF AREA. This study has been carried out numerically and experimentally. High dry-bulb temperature, and relative humidity (Sometimes reaction 60 C , and 100 Z respectively according to Kuwait climatology data) have a significant effect on the rate of water evaporation. The entering air wet-bulb temperature and required system temperature level combine with cooling tower size to balance the heat rejection system at a specified approach. The combination of flow rate and heat load dictates the range which a cooling tower must accommodate. The ceramic type of cooling towers in chosen as a sample of this study, because this type is used extenaively is the Arabian gulf area Finally, che obtained results have been compared with the manufactury results, and noticenable deviations have been found.
