Research of Inlet Air Quantity for Mechanical Cooling Tower

The functional relation of inlet air quantity, total heat load, ambient air temperature and humidity of the mechanical cooling tower was analyzed. The curves of inlet air quantity with total heat load, ambient air temperature and humidity were plotted by programing. The results show that the inlet air quantity will increase linearly with total heat load and with ambient humidity as well, but the influence was less. Finally the function of inlet air quantity for mechanical cooling tower is fitted. The function can calculate the inlet air quantity for automatic control system of mechanical cooling tower, to achieve the goal of energy saving.
