If I have a cooling tower of unknown origin, is there a way to calculate, or at least estimate, the cooling capacity (tonnage) of it without turning it on and testing it? Maybe something based on air volume, fill size, GPM, Ambi-ent conditions, and other physical dimensions?
I've looked up the calculations for cooling tons, and it all seems to point to knowing the temp of the water in vs out. But I don't know what the water out temp is, and would like to know what to expect.
I am admittedly very ignorant when it comes to cooling towers. It's all new to me.
