摘要
In this work, an experimental and a comparative study on terms of tower characteristics (KaV/L), water to air flow ratio (L/G) and efficiency for two film type packings are presented for a wide range of (L/G) ratio from 0.2 to 4. The packings used in this work are vertical corrugated packing (VCP) and horizontal corrugated packing (HCP). The obtained results showed that the performance of the cooling tower is affected by the type and arrangement of the packings. Also, the tower performance showed a decrease with an increase in the (L/G) ratio as is also observed in other types of cooling towers. The results showed the tower with vertical corrugated packing (VCP) has higher efficiency than the one with horizontal corrugated packing (HCP). (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
