Revision history [back]
The performance of a cooling tower is very dependent on outdoor wet-bulb temperature. See equation 17.3 on pg 977 in V8.8 Engineering Reference. However, if there is a set point temperature on the condenser loop, the tower should control to that temperature. Also read section 17.1.1.4 Calculating the Actual Exiting Water Temperature and Fan Power on pg 980.
