Hi, if the water supply to the cooling tower (specified on the chiller's schematic) is 2000L/h, does that mean that 2000L of warm water are lost to the environment every hour? Is it worth trying to recover somehow? (asking for an academic group project that aims to recover heat/water from a chiller)
Thank you.

Question that seems very basic here. What is the difference between a cooling tower and a fluid cooler. Working in residential now everyone calls these towers fluid coolers, and that its different than cooling towers in commercial. Any info is appreciated, have not got a complete answer yet.

Where does the water go when it's drained? Is it reused somewhere or does it just go to the sewer? Also, where does the new, fresh water come from? If the building is connected to the city water supply, is that where the new water comes from? Is that usually connected at the chiller?

I've seen some of your more current videos, and they are much better than this. You should update this one with some engineering and design calculations as well as the physics behind the actual heat dissipation and water evaporation

My man is too proud of the model he built. Kept getting distracted by it and wanting to spin it and show it off instead of explaining how it works lol thats being said. it is a very nice model

Thank you Paul for the great explanation, as always. Can you please make one more video for Closed-circuit cooling towers, and how they're different from open cooling towers?

thanks for our time. finally, I understand the cooling tower. I did not find any vid that explains the cooling tower like this. thanks again and keep up the great work

What is the difference between a fluid cooler and a cooling tower and why would I choose one over the other.
I have seen some sites that have both types. Not sure why

If there is multi cell cooling tower then will there be a separate float valve for each cell or one float valve is enough for multi cell cooling tower?

Please help. how can a cooling tower reject heat, but a swamp cooler basically is the same setup is used for cooling. Can someone break it down for me?

Drain for draining the system for preventive maintenance, float valve for make up water to maintain water level at the basin to prevent air pocketing.

Hey great video! I had a doubt though how does the drift eliminator exactly help in condensing the warm air being sucked by the fan.

Thanks a lot, nice and clear explanations. Curious question: what is the software you use to do these wonderful presentations?

Is there a fan in the bottom by the base to get the ambien air inside the cooling tower is it just pulled from you top fan

Good job.
Please kindly write the basic equations used in design the cooling towers. ( simple and practical forms.

What is the problem if heat rejection smaller than 200kw? but in/out temperatures and water flow rate are the same.

I thought the purpose of a chiller was to cool water. Why is a chiller sending warm water to a cooling tower?

What are your observations between open and closed loop cooling towers, as to their cooling efficiencies?

So this is kind of like a giant swamp cooler except the air that is returned to the room would be dry?
