The cooling effect in a cooling tower can be speeded up by _______________________?
Correct answer: B. All A., B. and C.
- A. Increasing the air velocity and area of exposed wet surface
- B. All A., B. and C.
- C. Reducing the humidity of the air
- D. Reducing the barometric pressure
Explanation
Evaporation in a cooling tower is enhanced by faster air movement, more exposed wet area, lower air humidity, and lower barometric pressure. Therefore, all three listed measures speed the cooling effect.
