Make up water is required in a cooling tower to replace the water lost by___________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. Evaporation
- B. Drift
- C. Blowdown and leakage
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
Cooling-tower makeup water replaces all major losses: evaporation, drift carried out with the air, and blowdown or leakage. Hence all three listed loss mechanisms require makeup.
