82-07: Evaporative Cooling Performance Evaluation Mechanical Draft Towers

82-07: Evaporative Cooling Performance Evaluation Mechanical Draft TowersA model is presented which predicts the performance of an evaporative cooling system at other than the tested operation point. The model is based upon an empirical correlation for convection heat transfer and a proposed form for this correlation is introduced.

in a certification program to be licensed under a state lice11PSing

On-line corrosion monitors and deposit monitors will indicate expected results and needs for program adjustments

and the choice of tower layout should often be deciding factors

With greater emphasis being placed on total water management

Due to changes in demand and limitations of current testing technology the system is subjected to a series of overfeed/underfeed situations

as well as reviewing the updated considerations for repairing from a thermal

The new treatment method resolved biological fouling issues and eliminated the need for shot feeds of a tanker truck load of bleach (~5000 gallons) every one to two weeks and the need for normal continuous dosing of chlorine and sodium bromide

high cycle operation risks mineral scale formation

and immunity to rot and decay

The results from this test demonstrate that MOS solution can be a more effective biocide treatment program by providing better overall microbio control as a safer and less expensive program
