Abstract (EN): A closed wet cooling tower, adapted for use with chilled ceilings in buildings, was tested experimentally. The thermal efficiency of the cooling tower was measured for different air flow rates, water flow rates, spray flow rates and wet bulb air temperatures. CFD was also used to predict the thermal performance of the cooling tower. Good agreement was obtained between CFD prediction and experimental measurement. Copyright (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
