Typical cooling tower performance curves for different water loadings

8 installed cost of pumps, motors, drives, speed reducers, 

8 installed cost of all piping, including overflow, drain, inlet and return and makeup lines, as well as shutoff and control valves. 

Cooling System Costs Cooling System Performance 

Capital Cost Costs of basic system, condenser, circulating water piping, makeup pumps and blowdown facilities, and intake and discharge systems. Cooling Capacity System sizing, air-to-water surface contact, dry- and wet-bulb temperatures for relative humidity, wind speed and direction, range and approach. 

Annual Fixed Charges Interest, amortization of the system capital costs, interim replacement, insurance and taxes.. Overall Performance Accounting for condenser and turbine characteristics.
