00-10: With "New-Age Brands" Into a "Brand-New Age" Testing

00-10: With "New-Age Brands" Into a "Brand-New Age" TestingHaving had trouble with the mechanical equipment in two thirty cell cooling towers for more than 20 years, Matrai Power Plant in Hungary decided in 1990 to replace all former "solutions" with one "Quality Set" for the different performances. The only restriction was to maintain the 18. 5 kw 725 rpm electric motors. This paper summarizes the steps, which had to be taken technically, and "organizationally" to close consecutive contracts over a period of

This phenomenon can result in the reduced efficiency of the cooling towers it affects and create the need to replace the fill sooner than expected

water conservation)

This paper reports on recent developments in cleaning and passivation chemistry that are applicable to new cooling systems and to older systems requiring rust removal and passivation

and finally

detect upsets and take appropriate corrective action becomes increasingly important as systems are pushed harder to reduce total cost of operation

The paper will present performance data on the treatment program and other steps that have been taken to upgrade system performance

deposition and biological fouling issues

4) corrosion prevention on both local and uniform attack and 5) operation of cooling towers at very high cycles of concentration for water savings

Laboratory electrochemical results will be presented as well as plant application case histories

mechanism and pitting inhibition are covered in some detail

A laboratory study simulating throughfall from 1 to 6 inches of rain suggested that there are more exchange sites associated with litter than live foliage

a fan on the top of the tower is used to induce an air stream against the falling water droplets
