Features: Cooling towers are widely used in many sectors of the national economy, such as power, petroleum, chemical industry, steel, and light textiles. Currently, cooling towers range from large natural ventilation cooling towers over 170 meters high to small fiberglass cooling towers that cool dozens of tons of water. In recent decades, with the rapid development of China's industry, the development of cooling towers has also accelerated, and small cooling towers are now. However, the process design theory of cooling towers, as a science, is not very young and is still in its developmental stage. The purpose of this book is, in addition to introducing common content, to present some new research findings, including the author's research on certain issues, to the readers, jointly promoting the continuous development of research, design, and manufacturing of cooling towers. The book is divided into ten chapters, with main content including: the function and classification of cooling towers; the principle of water cooling; the components and characteristics of cooling towers; the water distribution system, ventilation capacity calculation, and thermal calculation of cooling towers; cooling towers and the environment; laboratory tests and full-scale tests of cooling towers. This book is intended for designers, researchers, and operators of cooling towers, as well as for reference by faculty and students of relevant majors in higher education institutions.
