How To Develop Cooling Tower Life Cycle Cost Analysis: Defining Dry Bulb, Wet Bulb, and Approach

In our last blog we suggested incorporating IPLV (Integrated Part Load Values) into your cooling tower lifecycle cost analysis. Next, we need to fill in wet bulb temperatures that correspond with the part load conditions we’ve identified and already added to our lifecycle worksheet. …

How To Develop Cooling Tower Life Cycle Cost Analysis: Incorporating Part Load Values or IPLV

Creating a reasonable load profile is essential for calculating and then comparing lifecycle costs of specific cooling towers, including various brands and/or models within a specific brand. To do that we have to estimate the number of hours a cooling tower will operate at …
