Cooling Tower Water Consumption !full! Jun 2026

Evaporation is a "pure" water loss. It leaves behind dissolved solids, which leads to our second category of water loss.

Temperature drop of water through the tower (hot water in – cold water out). Larger range → more evaporation → more water use.

Cooling tower water consumption is a balance between thermal physics and chemistry. While you cannot eliminate evaporation—the very process that creates the cooling—you can significantly reduce blowdown and drift. By monitoring your Cycles of Concentration and investing in smart water treatment, you can lower your environmental impact and see a direct reduction in your monthly utility bills.
