96-15: Enhancing Tower Performance Using Non-Uniform Water Distribution Cooling Tower Water Chemistry

96-15: Enhancing Tower Performance Using Non-Uniform Water Distribution Cooling Tower Water ChemistryThe paper will examine the effects of special variations of L G within a cooling tower, on the overall thermal performance of the tower. Air temperature profiles above the fill, resulting from non uniform water distribution profiles will be presented. Theoretical vs. actual results for the return water temperature will be compared.

The ability to test the heat exchanger with steam under vacuum rather than hot water makes it unique as well

natural-draft cooling can sustain significant deterioration

plasticizing the entire tower

either below or above the fan in a cooling tower

including some of the development and demonstration achievements to date

The resulting data have allowed us to develop a simple kinetic model comparing performance of the additives under various conditions and these results have provided us with direction for potential process improvements with reduction in scale formation

maintenance

these systems have been costly

deposit and corrosion because of its implicit purity

Cleaning methods for high-performance film fills are discussed

(5) the existence of a legal duty for a chemical treater to warn a premises owner about Legionella

are vital to allow the ACC supplier to properly rate the equipment and guarantee its performance
