But still, the performances of Cooling Towers have been problematic. Normally they are used to dissipate heat from heat sources to the heat sink. The cooling of hot liquid wastage and process water is required from reuse and environmental point of view. The effectiveness of Cooling Tower relies on flow rates of air and water temperature. In this evaluation of the performance of Cooling Towers the cooling tower located at one of the unit of M/s. Aarti Industries Ltd. The aim is to analyze the performance of Cooling Tower and give the optimum solution that would reduce the monitoring input.

The essential purpose of a cooling tower is to remove heat into the surrounding. It represents a relatively dependable and economical means of rejecting low-grade heat from cooling water. To fill up again water lost to evaporation the make-up water source is used. Hot water from heat exchangers is received by cooling tower. The water departures from the cooling tower which is return to the heat-exchangers or to other sections for additional cooling. Fig. 1 represents the prototypical closed loop cooling tower system.
