ABSTRACT
Energy and utility are the major heads in industries. Use of energy and utility in industries is huge. There are lots of work done to save utility and conservation of energy previously. Still there is scope to do work for these. Cooling towers are major equipment for utility in various industries like chemical, petroleum, power plant etc. cooling tower absorbs low/high grade energy from process plant and emits it into the environment in the form of low-grade energy. Low-grade energy is difficult to recover and utilize in industries. sometime recovery and utilization are possible but cost of recovery is higher. Here we work to recovery of low-grade energy from cooling tower water and utilize for the evaporation of liquid to gas like chlorine, Sulphur dioxide, ammonia etc. which are store in liquid condition in cylinder and requires in gas form and higher flow rate. This arrangement will give advantage over conventional evaporation utilities like steam, hot water, electrical/thermal tracing etc., also gives advantages in cooling tower performance.
