[0002] A cooling tower is a device that uses water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and release it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature. Its cooling mechanism utilizes the heat exchange between water and air to generate steam. The steam evaporates, carrying away heat through evaporative cooling, convective heat transfer, and radiative heat transfer. This process dissipates waste heat generated in industrial processes or refrigeration and air conditioning systems, thus lowering the water temperature and ensuring the normal operation of the system. The device is typically cylindrical, hence the name "cooling tower."
