Specify the four thermal inputs
A useful supplier inquiry includes entering water temperature, leaving water temperature, circulating flow and the site’s design wet-bulb temperature. Omitting one can force a supplier to assume conditions…

First-principles water-side heat balance. Manufacturers linked independently; no claimed affiliation. Equipment selection requires qualified engineering review.
Understand range and approach
Range is the temperature drop across the tower. Approach is the leaving water temperature minus ambient wet-bulb temperature. A smaller approach is a more demanding selection. The calculator rejects a leaving…
Compare complete proposals
Thermal duty is only one part of procurement. Compare fan power, noise, access, drift control, corrosion resistance, water treatment and the available space. Ask each supplier to quote against the same design…
GOOD TO KNOW
A few useful answers.
Do you sell cooling towers?
This site provides a scoping calculator and independent manufacturer links. It has no live stock, distributor appointment or quotation service.
How is heat load calculated?
kW = flow in L/s × 1 kg/L × 4.186 kJ/kg·K × temperature drop in °C.
Can I use glycol?
No. The current calculation assumes water. Mixtures require their actual density and heat capacity.
Is the evaporation estimate total makeup water?
No. It assumes all heat is latent at about 2450 kJ/kg and excludes drift, blowdown and sensible heat. It is not a water-system design value.
