Abstract (EN): A new closed wet cooling tower, adapted for use with chilled ceilings in buildings, was tested. Experimental correlations were obtained for mass and heat transfer coefficients. Existing thermal models for this type of cooling tower were found to predict well thermal performance, if the above correlations are used.
