Water Calculator – Step Two : My Cooling Tower

Water Calculator

This cooling tower water efficiency calculator has been developed by AIRAH with support from a wide range of industry stakeholders, water corporations and the Victorian Government.

NB: This calculator is for towers located in VICTORIA and the database only works with micro Siemens conductivity readings.

From your service report, please tell us:

Date of service report Date of Service Report?
This value is not used for the calculation process. You may wish to add a date for identification purposes later.
If you know the values below, you can enter it in the fields provided. Alternatively, you can use the average values for your city.
Recirculating water quality Recirculating Water Quality?
The 'Recirculating Water Quality' is the conductivity (given in micro siemens) of the water recirculating through the cooling tower. The conductivity would typically be provided by the cooling system water treatment service report, or may available as a reading on your cooling system bleed control device. The value must be in micro siemens. Other units (such as chloride or TDS) may be convertible into conductivity for your particular system. You will need to consult your water treatment service provider for further advice. microSiemens/cm (μS/cm)
Maximum recommended setpoint?Maximum recommended set point
This is the maximum conductivity recommended for the cooling system by your water treatment service provider or system manufacturer. The maximum conductivity would typically be provided by the cooling system water treatment service report. Alternatively, your water treatment representative will be able to tell you value. The value must be in micro siemens. microSiemens/cm (μS/cm)
