A notable work has been carried out by many researches which is to enhance the performance of conventional cooling towers. The heat transfer in fluids will occur by convection, evaporation and radiation. The heat transfer occurs majorly by evaporative cooling, which inturn depends mainly on enthalpy of fluid rather than the temperature difference. The present work deals with the methods to improvement in the performance of the wet cooling tower with fluidized bed for various configurations with that of the cooling tower without fluidized bed. The prototype model of forced draft fluidized bed cooling tower and forced and induced draft fluidized bed cooling tower is designed. The best results in terms of performance are obtained for forced induced draft cooling tower, the range of cooling tower is 8◦ C for 6 lpm and has a maximum effectiveness of 50 percentage.
