The term "cooling range" in a cooling tower refers to the difference in the temperature of
cold water leaving the tower and the wet bulb temperature of the surrounding air.
hot water entering the tower and the wet bulb temperature of the surrounding air.
hot water entering the tower and the cooled water leaving the tower.
none of these

Range = inlet temp_ outlet temp of cooling water option C is correct.

The Coldwater when entering the tower is cooling water & when it leaves the tower it's temperature will be increased.

Cooling towers are heat removal devices used to transfer process waste heat to the atmosphere.
Range - The range is the temperature difference between the warm water inlet and cooled water exit.
Range = (T of hot water enter the tower- T of cooled water leaving the tower)

Approach = Cooled water - Wet bulb temperature of air

Approach = Cooled water - Wet bulb temperature of air

We can not cool below WBT by using CT.

But I think that cooling range refers to the difference between hot water entering and cold water leaving the tower. Please reply about correct answer!

TARUN said:   9 years ago
I think option B is correct because the range is always in between lower T to the max. T and max temp. Limit of the cooling tower is wet bulb temperature of surroundings.

Jeetendra said:   9 years ago
I think option B is the correct answer.

Please give the Difference between the cooling water inlet and outlet temperature.

The cold water when entering the tower is cooling water and when it leaves the tower it's temperature will be increased.
