A one and one-half year test of the first wet/dry cooling tower built specifically to examine the water conservation aspects of wet/dry cooling was concluded. Previously, wet/dry cooling had been considered only when plume abatement requirements negated the economic disadvantages. The tower was rated by the manufacturer to cool 15,150 gallons per minute (gal/min) of recirculated water from an initial temperature of 115 F to a final temperature of 90 F with an atmospheric wet-bulb temperature of 75 F. 2 refs.
