CALCULATION TIPS FOR COOLING TOWERS
Sizing a Cooling Tower
To determine the estimated capacity of any Cooling Tower System, it is recommended to use Liquid Molybdenum or similar trace product and follow the formula below:
Pounds of trace product added x 120,000 x percent active ÷ parts per million of chemical trace increase
To determine the volume of a Cooling Tower Sump:
Length x Width x Height x 7.5 = Water Volume of the Sump
To determine the volume of a Chilled Water Loop:
The GPM of the recirculating pump ÷ by 3 = tonnage of the Chiller
Tonnage of the Chiller x 20 = System Volume
