A cooling tower is used to transfer process waste heat to the atmosphere and cool working fluids. Common applications include cooling circulating water in oil refineries, chemical plants, power stations, and buildings. The document discusses fabricating an industrial cooling tower to remove heat from machinery or heated processes in facilities like power plants, refineries, and processing plants. The cooling tower would dissipate heat into the atmosphere instead of discharging hot water into local bodies of water, which could harm the ecosystem. It would do this using a cross-flow design where air flows perpendicular to water through fill material for efficient heat transfer. The expected outcomes are a more efficient and higher heat transfer efficiency cooling tower.
