Abstract
Deterioration of the packing material is a major problem in cooling towers.
In this experimental study ceramic tiles were used as a packing material. The
packing material is a long life burnt clay, which is normally used as a
roofing material. It prevents a common problem of the cooling tower resulting
from corrosion and water quality of the tower. In this study, we investigate
the use of three different types of ceramic packings and evaluate their heat
and mass transfer coefficients. A simple comparison of packing behaviour is
performed with all three types of packing materials. The experimental study
was conducted in a forced draft cooling tower. The variations in many
variables, which affect the tower efficiency, are described.
