Acceptance Test Code for Mechanical Draft Evaporative Vapor Condensers - ATC-106 General

Acceptance Test Code for Mechanical Draft Evaporative Vapor Condensers - ATC-106 GeneralThis code specifies the procedures, apparatus, and instrumentation to be used for testing and evaluating the performance of evaporatively cooled, mechanical draft, vapor condensers. Reviewed July 2011

In the design of a high performance cooling tower fill

A comparison of air cooled verses water cooled systems will be approached from several vantage points

This specification offers recommendations for classification

management of cooling system operation

The development of accurate and representative cooling tower performance penalties is critical to the optimization of cooling systems design and the assessment of associated performance penalties

this exercise can result to an accident of falling

recirculation rate

rather than a primary control output

used primarily for cooling

together with the limitations being imposed by EPA on the discharge of water treatment chemicals in the blowdown from cooling towers

The main computer program options are then discussed

This is a piece of equipment which we prefer to be left to maintenance and operation by the heat transfer engineer
