| Material Inputs | Removes heat from Recirc water | Material Outputs |
| AIR | Reduces Recirc T, ~20 deg, typ. | AIR |
| WATER VAPOR | Performance, ambient dependent | WATER VAPOR |
| Water evaporation (~1000 BTU/lb) | LIQUID DRIFT | |
| RECIRC WATER | Water cooling (1 BTU/lb/degreeF) | RECIRC WATER |
| MAKEUP WATER | See psychrometrics, wet bulb, dry bulb | LIQUID BLOWDOWN |
| See Cooling Tower Institute | LIQUID MISC | |
| CHEMICALS | SOLIDS MISC |
| Cycles of Concentration: The chloride ratio or the TDS ratio is often used to measure or define the operation of a cooling tower. However, the engineering issue is more complicated than that. A complete Analytical, Material and Energy Balance must be made plus a review of each ion, material and pH of the water streams; the specifics of which will substantially impact performance (Power plant corrosion, scaling, heat transfer, economics, environmental, etc.) |
