description This paper describes part of the detailed methodology for the thermal design of wet, counterflow and crossflow types of mechanical and natural draught cooling towers. Starting with a brief introduction, an attempt is made here to present different steps of cooling tower design. The steps include: selection of a cooling tower; determination of tower characteristic ratio; computation of moist air properties; determination of the ratio of the water-to-air loading; integration procedure for the tower characteristic ratio. The design of a cooling tower needs the use of different logical decisions, empirical relations and assumptions. The choice of a proper tower and its proper design would increase its efficiency and help conserve energy. Cet article décrit une partie de la méthodologie détaillée de la conception thermique des tours de refroidissement à tirage mécanique et à tirage naturel, de type humide, à contre-courant et courant transversal. Après une introduction brève, on présente les différentes étapes de la conception des tours de refroidissement: séléction d'une tour de refroidissement; détermination du rapport caractéristique de la tour; calcul des propriétés de l'air humide; calcul du rapport entre débit eau et débit air; procédure d'intégration du rapport caractéristique de la tour. La conception d'une tour de refroidissement demande que soient prises des décisions logiques et que soient prises en compte des relations et des hypothèses empiriques. Le bon choix d'une tour de refroidissement et sa bonne conception permettent d'accroître son efficacité et de faire des économies d'énergie.
