I have been trying to get cooling towers for manual candle making machines
and they cost a fortune and are too big. How do I calculate the heat a
cooling tower can deal with? I am talking about one a foot square and 5
feet high with a fan on top.
The candle making machine has a water jacket around the moulding tubes and
it can have water manualy pumped through it with a foor or hand pump. The
wax an be heated in a big wood-fired melter. We have not been able to get
anything off the shelf that will cool the water, especially something that
can be manually operated. If I drop the water from a great height with no
fan, won't the droplets create a downdraft and ruin the cooling effect?
Advice sought.
Thanks
Crispin
