The branch of cooling tower is full of technical terms. Take a look at the following nomenclature starting from A
- ACFM- The actual volumetric flow rate of air-vapor mixture
- Air Inlet- Opening in a cooling tower through which air enters
- Air Travel- Distance which air travels in its passage through the fill. It is measured vertically on counter flow towers and horizontally on cross flow towers.
- Approach- Difference between the cold water temperature and either the ambient or entering wet-bulb temperature.
- Automatic Variable-Pitch Fan- A propeller type fan whose hub incorporates a mechanism which enables the fan blades to be re-pitched simultaneously and automatically.
- Air Rate- Mass flow of dry air per square foot of cross-sectional area in the tower's heat transfer region per hour.
- Air Horsepower- The power output developed by a fan in moving a given air rate against a given resistance.
