07-17: Anionic Compatible Quat? CorrosionSunlight exposed cooling towers can develop significant algae related fouling problems. The presence of these algal mats or stringers clearly shows that the cooling water program is out of control. In addition this fouling will often block the tower fill causing reduced efficacy.
With outage and shutdown intervals extending to 5-8 years
to permit appropriate preventive actions to control potential fouling problems developing on either the cooling water side or the process fluid side
Improving these inflow conditions allows an increase in the overall airintake of the tower and thereby improves its cooling capability
This paper describes the results of laboratory challenges supported by a series of field demonstrations where an innovative filtration technology is applied for the simultaneous removal and suppression of waterborne bacteria and total suspended solids (TSS)
Tests using mixed-oxidant solution instead of oxidizing biocides (chlorine or bromine) for cooling tower maintenance
prepared for ASHRAE by Lebrun et al (1999)
The subject of the paper is aimed for methodology for the evaluation of cooling tower drift eliminator performance
This paper will point out the unique features of this family of products and show comparative field and laboratory data to aid in proper biocide selection
The objective of the second test method is intended to measure the total sound power emitted by the cooling tower by near field measurements
The root caused investigation indicated serious corrosion problems with fan equipment
and microbiological control in their cooling water systems
we have studied the performance of bromine-based biocides in this cooling tower
