Based on a thermodynamic calculating model for counterflow cooling towers, calculates the thermal performance coefficient by enthalpy difference method considering the cooling water loss, and identifies the relative parameters in the formula by using some experimental data. Compares the calculating method with the method of neglecting cooling water loss. Applies the calculated results from these two methods to a cooling tower simulation model. The simulation results of cooling tower with the thermal performance coefficient considering the cooling water loss are very closer to experimental data.
