Abstract

This article discusses an experimental analysis of the heating effectiveness of a forced cooling 
tower (WCT) using dimensions (15X15X80) cm, as well as the effect of water inlet temperatures 
(60, 50, 55, 40, 45, 35) degrees Celsius, different air velocities (2.15, 15.3, 4) m/s, and water flow 
rates (4, 6, 8, 10) liters/min, where the current work addressed an experimental investigation of the 
efficacy of the evaporative cooling tower. for pure water. Using cardboard packaging with holes 
and inclined divisions of (15X15X60) cm, which provides a uniform distribution of water to 
augment the surface area for heat and mass transmission process, the experimental Results indicated 
the thermal performance, cooling rate (range), approach, and tower efficacy, and cooling capacity 
are affected by, he elements listed above, as well as the fact that raising the temperature of the 
incoming water water increases the cooling rate, increasing the approach increases the water flow 
rate, and decreasing the efficacy. At a temperature rise of (55, 60) Celsius and a flow rate of 4 
liters/min, the cooling rate rose by 5%, while the efficiency improved by 6%.
