The Cooling tower is installed where the continuous heat rejection is required. Like process plants. Type is depends up on use & water property.
Range is the difference of cooling water inlet and cooling water outlet temp
It evaporates into the atmosphere using a cooling tower.
Cooling towers are a very important part of many chemical plants. The primary task of a cooling tower is to reject heat into the atmosphere. They represent a relatively inexpensive and dependable means of removing low-grade heat fromcooling water. The make-up water source is used to replenish water lost to evaporation. Hot water fromheat exchangers is sent to the cooling tower. The water exits the cooling tower and is sent back to the exchangers or to other units for further cooling. Cooled water is needed for, for example, air conditioners, manufacturing processes or power generation. A cooling tower is an equipment usedto reduce the temperature of a water stream by extracting heat from water and emitting it tothe atmosphere. Cooling towers make use of evaporation whereby some of the water is evaporated into a moving air stream and subsequently discharged into the atmosphere. As a result, the remainder of the water is cooled down significantly (Figure 1). Cooling towers are able to lower the water temperatures more than devices that use only air to reject heat, like the radiator in a car, and are therefore more cost-effective and energy efficient.
The only thing that I've heard of with "wet cooling" in, is a wet cooling tower. A Wet Cooling tower for the closed-circuit cooling of water where the water to be cooled comes into direct contact with the cooling air dissipating heat by evaporation and air heating. The air draught required for cooling can be induced by fans or by the natural effect of the stack of the cooling tower building (natural draught cooling tower).So I don't know if that answers your question or not, but i hope it helps...

Typically this would involve standard titration and colourmetric techniques, which involves analysis and monitoring of the cooling tower.
The Approach is the difference between wet bulb temperature and outlet water temperature from cooling tower. That means , in this case, Approach = 35-25=10 degrees.

Windage (or drift) losses (W) is the amount of total tower water flow that is evaporated into the atmosphere.
