02-01: Analysis of Thermal Performance Test Data of Large Cooling Towers Using Oxidizing Biocides

02-01: Analysis of Thermal Performance Test Data of Large Cooling Towers Using Oxidizing BiocidesThe paper will outline procedures and practices followed to complete thermal performance tests on large utility cooling towers in accordance with the provisions of the new CTI ATC 105 Acceptance Test Code. Case studies of actual tests on crossflow and counterflow cooling towers with the results determined using the CTI ToolKit Software would be included in the paper. The presentation will incorporate a live demonstration using the software to evaluate

Alternatives were explored to avoid installing additional circulation pumps and dedicated supply and return piping for the new process unit

while eliminating the fouling previously experienced due to inorganic loading

used with propeller type fans on air cooled condensers

The most significant unsteady loads are generated by the effect of the aerodynamic interference between the fan-gearbox supporting beams and the fan blades

Also included is a sample calculation of megawatt loss in a thermal electric generation plant and resultant loss of dollars

The Cooling Tower Institute has adopted much needed guidelines for providing meaningful estimates of measurement uncertainty and the propagation of these uncertainties into the determination of cooling tower capability
