In this Technical Paper, ‘gallons’ and ‘gpm’ refer to Imperial gallons, not U.S. gallons, unless otherwise noted.
Conclusion
This paper demonstrates that meeting the requirement to provide on-site
storage of makeup water for evaporative cooling towers is in fact a
straightforward and manageable solution, if calculations are based
on a worst-case hour multiplied times the hours of storage duration.
Calculations become more detailed and complex when considering the rise
and fall of wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures over a 12-hour, or
longer, period.
