In industrial cooling systems, one of the most important parameters is the cooling tower circulating water flow rate. Whether designing a new HVAC project, selecting a closed circuit cooling tower, or upgrading refrigeration equipment, calculating the proper circulation water volume directly affects cooling efficiency, energy consumption, and long-term system stability. Many users simply estimate water
