Dependence of the cooling potential of an evaporative cooling tower on the tower parameters (height h , cross‐sectional area A t , evaporative pad area A p , packing factor of evaporating pads F p and flow resistance f ) has been investigated. The performance of the tower is studied for two different climates, namely hot‐dry and composite, typified by Jodhpur and Delhi.
