17-03: Distribution – Distribution – DistributionProper water distribution is at least three times more important than any other factor in cooling tower performance. We test cooling towers to make sure they are within 1F to 2F of their design. Then, in the next few years the performance quite often drops 10% to 20% because of water maldistribution. This paper covers various methods of detecting poor water distribution, how to improve the distribution, and how to continue successful water flow are
