62-02: Field Tests and Evaluation of Polychlorophenates in Cooling TowerCooling towers were developed as water conservation devices to cope with the shortage of water for industrial cooling. Since water is the natural habitat for bacteria, algae, and slime, together with the fact that the majority of cooling towers are made of wood, a microbial problem is ever present.

Utilizing both the VFD’s and increased efficiency

The CTI drift measurement code ATC-140 specifies that isokinetic measurements be employed for cooling tower drift emissions measurements

ponds or lakes are becoming more popular with steam electric stations

Hybrid cooling towers of the classical design with separate wet and dry sections have constituted a proven technology in the recooling field for approximately the past two decades

Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory and the Air Force Civil Engineer Agency evaluated a high voltage capacitance-based water treatment technology in evaporative cooling systems at four military installations in an extended study

The paper will exhibit

This method seems to be the most suitable for such purposes

leaving "fingerprints" in the components

practical industrial application

What has caused this change

The consumptive use of water is of con­cern to us -- for plants that use cooling towers (the practical alternate method to using stream or reservoir water) use more (consumptive) water per kilowatt hour generated than do plants which are able to circulate their cooling water in lakes

Monitoring and control of cooling water chemistry has improved considerably over the past few decades
