calculate motor power in cooling tower

[fox88]

how much motor power (kW) required in cooling tower, if i have data in these following:

cooling capacity = 2 tons
sump basin capacity = 1.6 meter cubic
flowrate = 0,5 meter cubic per hour

The head loss is one piece of info needed to find HP

It depends, too, on the type of cooling tower, type of fan, local design outdoor wet bulb temperature, entering and leaving condensor water temperatures, and whether the water is mixed with glycol.

I probably left out a couple of things.

The very easiest way is to pick up the phone and call a cooling tower manufacturer. Marley, for example, will do all that for you.

Best to you,

Waht are you talking about; fan HP or cooling water pump HP?? Must have discharge pressure (calculated through a static and friction pressure calculation) to get pump HP.
