Performance

← Previous | Next →

Inputs for the performance of the water system are entered on the Performance parameter screen. The following parameters are available:

•Cooling Water Inlet Temperature: This is the temperature of the cooling water entering the cooling tower. It is read-only and is shown for reference.

•Cooling Water Outlet Temperature: This is the temperature of the cooling water exiting the cooling tower. It is read-only and is shown for reference.

•Tower Drift Loss: This parameter specifies a percent of the quantity of cooling water as drift loss.

•Tower Evaporation Loss: This parameter specifies a percent of the quantity of cooling water as evaporation loss.

•Cycles of Concentration: This is a measure of the degree to which dissolved solids are being concentrated in the circulating water and is estimated in terms of concentration ratio of dissolved solids in the circulating versus makeup water. It is reversely related to the blowdown. Improving the quality of makeup water for the cooling system can increase the cycle of concentration and decrease the amount of tower blowdown.

•Blowdown Treatment Recovery Rate
