Abstract

In this study the characteristic of a water cooling tower by using the palm fibre as thepacking material have been investigated experimentally. The experiments were carried out in arectangle glass tower of 81 cm2 cross sectional area and 100 cm height. The packing used wasconstructed of 8 palm-fibre ropes (of about 0,6 cm diameter), zigzag vertically placed above thestainless steel support on the tower bottom. Its type has 28,3.10-4 kg weighs of rope every m3volume of the packing.The experimental results show that the increasing of the water inlet temperature and thepacking height cause the increasing of the tower characteristic. Mean while, the increasing ofthe water/air mass flow rate ratio causes the decreasing of the tower characteristic. The towercharacteristic is as a function of the investigated variables which expressed as:NTU = 3,35.10-3 (m w /m a )-0,995 (Z)0,5050 (T wi )1,1643with the relative error of 5,5%.This equation is valid for the range of variables, as m w /m a which is ranged from 4,46 to9,48, Z which is ranged from 30 to 90 cm, T wi which is ranged from 50 to 60 oC. The meaneffectiveness of the heat transfer were calculated to be 25,9%.Keywords: Cooling tower, characteristic, effectiveness, palm-fibre ropes.

Abstract

     The aims of the experiments are to characterize of the cooling tower by using the bank of the pipes as the fluid distributor. The cooling tower is constructed by rectangle of glasses which it has 9 cm x 9 cm in cross section and 100 cm in height. The fluid distributors are constructed by pipes in 5/8 inch of nominal diameter. There were five types of the packing namely the fluid distributor without baffle, fluid distributor with one baffle, the fuid distributor with two baffles, the fluid distributor with there baffles and the fluid distributor with four baffles.     The experiment have been done by flowing the hot water from the top of cooling tower through the fuid distributor, on the other hand, the air cooler is flown above through the fluid distributor opposite to the water flow direction. This process makes the exchanging of the heat between air and water on the fluid distributor. The variables varied in this experiments are the inlet water temperature, Twi (45, 50, 55 and 60 °C), the height of fluid distributor, Z (30.5, 61 and 91.5 mm), the ratio of water/air mass flow, mw/ma (3.624, 5.888 and 7.700) and the number of baffle (without baffle,  one baffle, two baffles, three baffles and four baffles).     The experimental results show that in the ratio of water/air mass flow rate which is lower, the increasing of the numbers baffle cause the decreasing of characteristic. Mean while, in the ratio of water/air mass flow rate which is higer, the increasing of the numbers of baffle cause the increasing of the characteristic. The cooling tower without the fluid distributor has the average characteristic is 13.4% and the average effectiveness is 16.2%. For the cooling tower with the fluid distributor has the average characteristic is 31.5% and the average effectiveness is 25.0%. Keywords : Cooing tower,  characteristic, fluid distributor.
