Optimization of Cooling Tower Systems in Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Applications: A Sustainable Engineering Approach

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

Problem StatementCooling towers use excess energy, lose low-grade heat, and depend on inaccurate manual dosing. These issues increase cost and reduce reliability, highlighting the need for an automated and energy-recovering solution. Elevator Pitch Cooling towers waste water, energy, and recoverable heat due to fixed-speed fans and manual dosing. We integrate an ORC for heat recovery, automated fan control, and smart dosing to create a more efficient, cleaner, and self-regulating cooling system.
