A cooling tower of a centralized air conditioning system handles 5,000 m3/h of water which enters the tower at 40°C. The cooled water leaves the tower at 28°C. The drift loss is 0.1% while the blowdown is 0.4%. The water make-up is 150 m3/h at 30°C. The air blown through the tower enters at 25°C and has a relative humidity of 70%. The air leaves the tower at 35°C with a relative humidity of 95%. Calculate the volume of air, in m3/h at ambient conditions that the forced draft fan of the cooling tower handles.
