Flow meters help maintain proper design flow within cooling tower blowdown applications by minimizing water loss through evaporation and drift; monitoring and managing blowdown and recirculated water to maintain efficiency; and helping engineers and facilities managers better manage processes.

Cooling tower blowdown refers to the process of discharging a portion of the circulating water from a cooling tower to control the concentration of dissolved solids and other impurities in the cooling water. The blowdown helps maintain the water quality within acceptable limits and prevent the buildup of scaling, corrosion, and fouling in the ...

Cooling towers use makeup water to replace the water lost through evaporation and blowdown, as shown in Figure 1 below. Typically, city or well water is used. The quantity and quality of these waters can be easily measured with water meters and analytical equipment.
