Such a gap could be positive & therefore favorably. The gap could also negative. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 16 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER INTRODUCTION Over heating of machine elements is common problem in industry. It is caused due to continuous operation of machine and atmospheric conditions of the surroundings. Operation cannot be stopped or in other words the machine cannot be given time to be cooled down and therefore there has to be provision for cooling. Water is the best cooling medium as it is cheap and available in abundance. However it has to be noted that continuous flow of fresh water to the machine is not advisable as it creates great waste. Cooling tower is used to fulfil the purpose of cooling with minimum usage of fresh water. It circulates fresh water for cooling to the machine and uses least make up water that is lost due to evaporation. Apart from industry cooled water is needed for, for example, air conditioners, or power generation. A cooling tower is the equipment used to reduce the temperature of a water stream by extracting heat from water and emitting it to the atmosphere. Cooling towers make use of evaporation whereby some of the water is evaporated into a moving air stream and subsequently discharged into the atmosphere. As a result, the remainder of the water is cooled down significantly as shown in the figure. Cooling towers are able to lower the water temperatures more than devices that use only air to reject heat, like the radiator in a car, and are therefore more cost-effective and energy efficient. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 17 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER DEFINITIONS WHAT IS A COOLING TOWER? A cooling tower is a heat rejection device, which extracts waste heat to the atmosphere though the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature. Common applications for cooling towers are providing cooled water for air-conditioning, manufacturing and electric power generation. The generic term "cooling tower" is used to describe both direct (open circuit) and indirect (closed circuit) heat rejection equipment. A direct, or open-circuit cooling tower is an enclosed structure with internal means to distribute the warm water fed to it over a labyrinth-like packing or "fill." The fill may consist of multiple, mainly vertical, wetted surfaces upon which a thin film of water spreads. An indirect, or closed circuit cooling tower involves no direct contact of the air and the fluid, usually water or a glycol mixture, being cooled. In a counter-flow cooling tower air travels upward through the fill or tube bundles, opposite to the downward motion of the water. In a cross-flow cooling tower air moves horizontally through the fill as the water moves downward. Cooling towers are also characterized by the means by which air is moved. Because evaporation consists of pure water, the concentration of dissolved minerals and other solids in circulating water will tend to increase unless some means of dissolved-solids control, such as blow-down, is provided. Some water is also lost by droplets being carried out with the exhaust air (drift) B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 18 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER AIM OF PROJECT • To developed attitude of inquiry • To work as leader & as a member if a team • To measure physical phenomenon. • To developed problem solving ability. • To developed ability of report writing. • To developed planning & disciplinary studies • To give students an opportunities to learn of to keep good record. • To present students an excising and demanding challenges. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 19 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER BASIC ELEMENTS OF PROJECT 1. Operation : These are to carried out in particular sequence to order it would still better, if the method of performing each operation may also be established. It may be kept in mind that for carrying out each. Actually there is always an expenditure of resources may be in terms of coast, time etc. 2. Resources : For the purpose of carrying out the activities, the resources meet are in term of manpower, material, machines, money & time. The competitions of any activity or for that matter the future project can not be said to be over values required resources are made available at the appropriate time. In other word man has to be prepared co-ordination these resources. 3. Conditions : The activities are carries out under specified conditions of restrictions which we have a direct bearing on the competition of the involving the factor. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 20 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER WORKING PRINCIPLE OF INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER Cooling tower is essentially a heat and mass transfer device. It removes heat from the water and loses a fraction of water during heat transfer to the air. When air is blown from downwards it came in contact with upcoming water the enthalpy of which is higher and at the time of contact this air causes evaporation of water droplet. It is known that in order to get evaporated water requires to gain certain amount of latent heat. It does so from nearby droplet and evaporates into vapour form. Due to removal of sensible heat, remaining water droplets loses temperature and cools down. Due to higher surface area in packing heat transfer rate increases and water is further cooled to the require temperature. Air moving upward takes away certain amount of water content in (vapour form) with it which is not desirable. In order to recover lost water drift eliminators are provided. Upcoming air loses their velocity and causes certain amount of vapour to be converted into water. The water falls downward and collected in the basin.

These offer a striking balance between maximum heat transfer surface area vis-à-vis minimum restriction to air flow. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 23 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER FAN : The Axial flow fan consists of cast Aluminum or FRP variable pitch aerofoil blades fitted on a M.S. hot dip galvanized hub with S.S. 304 "U" bolts & nuts. The balanced fan assembly is mounted directly on the shaft of weather proof, flanged motor. WATER DISTRIBUTION These spray water to wet the fill. Uniform water distribution at the top of the fill is essential to achieve proper wetting of the entire fill surface. Nozzles can either be fixed and spray in a round or square patterns, or they can be part of a rotating assembly as found in some circular cross-section towers. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 24 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER DRIFT ELIMINATORS: These capture water droplets entrapped in the air stream that otherwise would be lost to the atmosphere. Air inlet: This is the point of entry for the air entering a tower. The inlet may take up an entire side of a tower (cross-flow design) or be located low on the side or the bottom of the tower (counter-flow design). B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 25 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER MECHANICAL AND THERMAL DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR COOLING TOWER power consumption by 7.5 tr cooling tower In order to initiate cooling tower design the following parameters have been considered, Technical Parameter Volume of circulating water (L) Inlet temperature of water (T 1 ) Outlet temperature of water (T 2 ) Wet bulb temperature (WBT) Height of the cooling tower (H) Inlet temperature of air (T a1 ) Outlet temperature of air (T a2 ) Design relative humidity (ɸ) Allowable losses through Evaporation Thermal parameters Enthalpy of air at inlet temperature (H a1 ) Enthalpy of air at outlet temperature (H a2 ) Specific Humidity of air at inlet temperature (W 1 ) Specific humidity of air at outlet temperature (W 2 ) Specific Volume of air at inlet temperature (V a1 ) Specific volume of air at outlet temperature (V a2 ) Enthalpy of water at inlet temperature (H w1 ) Enthalpy of water at outlet temperature (H w2 ) B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Quantity 3.8 m3/h 38 0C 32 0C 290C 1.2 m 200C 270C 80% 1.44% Quantity 50 KJ/Kg 73 KJ/Kg 0.0118 Kg/Kg of air 0.018 Kg/Kg of air 0.842 m3/Kg 0.875 m3/Kg 159.10 KJ/Kg 134 KJ/Kg Page 26 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER DESIGN CALCULATION • Cooling tower approach (cta) CTA = T2 – WBT = 32 – 29 = 3 0C • Cooling tower range (ctr) CTR = T1 – T2 = 38 – 32 = 6 0C • Mass of water circulated in cooling tower Mw1 = Volume of circulating water x Mass density of water Mw1 = 3.8 x 1000 Mw1 = 3800 Kg / hr • Heat loss by water (HL) HL = Mw1 x Cpw x (T 1 – T 2 ) HL = 3800 x 4.186 x (38 - 32) HL = 99440.8 KJ / hr • Volume of air required (G) G = (HL x Gs1) / [(Ha2 – Ha1) - (W2 – W1) x Cpw x T2] G = (99440.8 x 0.842) / [(73 - 50) – (0.018 – 0.0118) x 4.186 x 32] G = 3776.69 m3 / hr • Mass of air required (Ma) Ma = Volume of air required / Specific volume of air at inlet temperature Ma = G / Gs1 Ma = 4485 Kg / hr Based on above data power calculation can be calculated as follows, Fan power = Air Volume (in ACFM) X Total Pressure in inch / 6356 =2223X0.6434/6356 =0.25 HP =0.25 X 746 watts =186.5 watts B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 27 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER PROCEDURE FOR THE EXPERIMENT Initially tower performance will be determined by considering anonymous range and later on it will be compared with the experimental one. Range considered for the cooling tower is 38-32=6 c; where 38 is inlet temperature and 32 is outlet temperature. Following equation is used to determine cooling tower efficiency which is known as the merkel equation. KaV/L = [(T1 – T2) / 4] x {(1 /Δ h1) + (1 / Δ h2) + (1 / Δ h3) + (1 / Δ h4)} Where, K = Mass transfer co-efficient (Kg / hr m2); V = Active cooling volume (m3); T 1 = water temperature entering the cooling tower, 0C; T 2 = water temperature leaving the cooling tower, 0C; h w = enthalpy of saturated air at water temperature, kJ/(kg of dry air); h a = enthalpy of air, kJ/(kg of dry air); a = total area of wetted surface includes the surface area of water drops as well as wetted slats or other fill material, m2; L = water mass flow rate, kg/s; Now, Δ h1 = Value of Hw - Ha at T2 + 0.1 (T1 – T2) Δ h2 = Value of Hw - Ha at T2 + 0.4 (T1 – T2) Δ h3 = Value of Hw - Ha at T1 - 0.4 (T1 – T2) Δ h4 = Value of Hw - Ha at T1 - 0.1 (T1 – T2) Calculation gives the following value for cooling tower performance KaV / L = 0.1540 EFFICIENCY OF COOLING TOWER N = (T1 – T2) / (T1 – WBT) N = (38 - 32) / (38 - 29) N = 66.67 % EFFECTIVENESS OF COOLING TOWER P = (T1 – T2) / (T1 – Ta1) P = (38 - 32) / (38 - 20) P=0.33 B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 28 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER PLANNING OF PROJECT WORK In the planning we have to select a project for our team has continue for give members for this we added our past memory with a view of final a project that we must write to us. We visited in many industries, visited library, read various books pertaining to technical side made tentative collection of these all the project. Among these all the project we compared the feasibility of project and reached at the decision to manufacture “Induce draft cooling tower”. Because at the fact that it was available in our college workshop and second during manufacture of this stall it should be easy for us to read and study the thoughts to prevail difficulties. In the planning stage we have also to analyze and study the different components and part by dismantling the “Induce draft Cooling tower” and model list.

Expenses : • Direct Expenses : The expenses, which can be directly changed on the particular product, are called expenses. • In – Direct Expenses : The expenses that can not be directly or confidently changed on particular products are called in-direct expenses. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 35 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER CALCULATION Prime cost • Direct material + Direct labour = 6000 + 1,495 = 7,495 Rs. • Overhead cost : 15% Prime Cost = 1,124.25 Rs. • Production cost : = 7,495 + 1,124.25 = 8,619.25 Rs. • Net Desired Profit 15% of production cost = 1,292.88 Rs. • Selling Price : Production + Profit = 8,619.25 + 1,292.88 = 9,912.13 Rs. • Selling price of Cooling Tower is 9,912.13 Rs. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 36 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGE Advantages:The main advantage is that coldest water comes in contact with the direct air & warmest water comes in contact with most humid air. • The re-circulation is seldom a problem with this tower as outlet a discharge the heated & humidity away from air enters below the tower. • The size of 20 in diameter can be used. • Claims are made that the ID fan tower has the advantage of tower first cool, requires less space, and is capable of cooling through a wide range. • The first cost is lower due to the reduction in pump capacity required & smallest length of water pipes. The power consumption per kg. of water cooled is less compared with FD fan system Disadvantages:• The static pressure loss is higher as restricted are at base tends to above off the flow of high velocity air. This requires higher HPmotor to drive the fan compared with forced draft handling equipment. • The air velocities through the packing are contently distributed & it has very little movement near the walls & center of the tower. B.S.P.P. 2014-15 Page 37 INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER CONCLUSIONS The described study allows site-specific scenario calculations for the possible development of water temperatures and the related impacts on the power plant cooling system: these are e.g. cooling water temperature, heat discharge to the river or additional operation costs due to high temperatures and low water levels. Therefore, the model will provide a basis for site-specific adaptation measures. Temperature inversions reduce a particular natural draft wetcooling tower heat rejection by approximately 20% in winter and by approximately 8% in summer. The reduction in tower performance due to the adversely affected pressure differential (draft equation) on the outside of the tower, during temperature inversions, accounts for approximately 20% of the total loss and the increased effective inlet temperature (transfer process) for approximately 80% of the reduction in tower performance.
