TP04-14: Selected Diagnostics to Complement a Cooling Tower Performance Test or Status Test Sound

TP04-14: Selected Diagnostics to Complement a Cooling Tower Performance Test or Status Test SoundEarly and accurate problem identification enables cooling tower repair work to be focussed and prioritized for prompt restoration of cooling tower performance thereby avoiding time and resources being wasted on less beneficial or unnecessary repair work. Annual off season cooling tower performance or status testing has long been a recommended practice for proactive cooling tower maintenance. This paper provides examples of some of the diagnostic tests

treatment programs in such highly corrosive cooling water conditions require high level phosphate to achieve acceptable carbon steel corrosion rate

both conventional indices predict scaling when in fact none will occur

This paper discusses the effect of elevated water temperatures in these systems and improved methods of treatment

without significant problems

This paper reviews the operating principles and advances that have been made in oil mist lubrication for electric motors and purcing gearboxes

This example indicates an 8

The paper gives the guides lines of the fill design in relation with the fouling and the scaling resistance
