Why Wet Bulb Temperature Governs Cooling Tower Efficiency

Industrial cooling tower illustrating the relationship between wet bulb temperature and cooling tower efficiency.

In the world of industrial cooling, the primary enemy of efficiency is not the heat load itself, but a fundamental misunderstanding of atmospheric science. While many plant operators diligently track ambient dry-bulb temperatures, they remain blind to the psychrometric reality governing their equipment. The air temperature on your thermometer does not drive cooling towers. The […]
