Cooling Tower Approach

I am looking for tips on how to properly compare tower approach temps. Currently, I am comparing a 7 F approach with a 5 F approach. The tower has 4 cells with 44 kW fan energy for each cell and a 10 F range.

Regardless of control parameters, the program shows less tower energy for a smaller approach and I was expecting the opposite.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Thank you!
