Reduce the Evaporative Loss of Cooling Tower

BALONEY.

You cannot repeal the laws of thermodynamics and entropy. Adding a "cooling coil" just allows one to transfer some heat to a different location not make it disappear. Depending on how this cooling coil works there can very easily now be more heat that must be dissipated, too.

Cooling by evaporation (of water) is one of the most efficient, reliable methods of dissipating large amounts of waste heat. Some of the reasons an evaporative cooling tower becomes less efficient is filter clogging, sprayer openings enlarging, pressure leaks, and just general corrosion.

On a final note, writing in all capital letters is considered SHOUTING. Please turn your "caps lock" off unless you wish to shout at us.

Sure! Use frozen water. That way it will be cold and not evaporate as quickly.

April fools isn't for several months, care to try again?

WALOOB - The more evaporation takes place, the more cooling is happening!

marmalade,

Have you told your supervisors about your bold new idea ?

I am sure that your innovative thing could be applied to other cooling towers on other power plants. Think of all of the water that can be saved !..... Perhaps cooling towers could be deleted altogether, based on your ideas !

Please find a genuine graduate Mechanical Engineer, preferably one who has studied Thermodynamics..... tell him of your idea !
