92-02: The Latest Worldwide Technology in Environmentally Designed Cooling PsychrometricsAbstract: Many cooling tower designs now require special consideration to reduce their impact on the environment and facilitate site permitting. Unique designs will be discussed including: low noise applications; injection of scrubbed flue gas into natural draft cooling towers; drift requirements as low as . 0001%; new EPA testing methods, environmentally critical thermal performance; removal; redesign and replacement of asbestos products with

The paper will focus on the cementations repair materials

the pendulum has swung completely in the other direction

Soft water corrosion problems are increasing due to the use of non-chemical pretreatment systems

The second phase

This paper will describe various microbial growth control technologies

the recent increase in leaks and failures in their large diameter circulating water pipelines is highlighting a need for proactive approach to pipeline management

Applications are refineries

and HVAC industries that cooling towers are basically resistant to fire because they are by nature wet

An explanation is offered for some of the silica specie reactions that are

These materials won rapid acceptance in industry because of their strong threshold effect and their high level of hydrolytic stability

This is a summary of 7 years field study
