Abstract
This paper describes the counterflow closed circuit cooling towers developed by the authors. The new cooling towers have many desirable features, including pure water, low noise, safety, energy effective and so on. The mathematical models of the counterflow closed circuit cooling towers are established in terms of mass heat balance. An analytical solution of the counterflow closed circuit cooling towers is carried out. Performance curve of the cooling towers is drawn and it is mainly calculated that the outlet temperature of cooling water varies with the spray water flow rate. Results of the theoretical calculation are found to be close to the experimental data.
