81-06: Determination of Seasonal Variations in Fouling Factors and Apparent Cooling Tower Water Treatment Programs

81-06: Determination of Seasonal Variations in Fouling Factors and Apparent Cooling Tower Water Treatment ProgramsDescription of the fouling factor changes observed during winter and summer chlorination outages and are compared to fouling factors measured during a pilot scale deposition study.

The process involves the unique and practical application of ultrasound and provides both planktonic and sessile biological control

By applying first principles and straightforward relationships for condensers

The development of CTI Standard 137 generated some questions regarding the performance of pultruded structural shapes in a water immersion environment

This Electrodynamic field generator that was used is of the pulsed power design with a much higher level of power compared to other pulse powered systems

These chemistries have their limitations

“Marketing” of some treatment chemicals emphasizes their “biodegradability”

EDF decided to run two campaigns of tests: the first one focused on the effect of the mechanical deterioration of drift eliminators

Open and closed cooling systems are subject to the very real constant threat of corrosion

The design basis of each general type is discussed both in terms of psychrometrics and the physical configuration

This detailed monitoring also includes makeup and cooling tower water quality

Case history examples from actual projects will be included

the high price of carbon fiber at that time precluded industrial applications
