84-15: Examination of Cooling Tower Air Flow Measurement Techniques and Their Miscellaneous

84-15: Examination of Cooling Tower Air Flow Measurement Techniques and Their MiscellaneousThere is currently no published test code that governs the performance testing of large wet cooling tower fans. ASME's Performance Test Code 11 Committee is in the process of developing a test code aimed primarily at testing in a dry environment. This paper discusses the PTC 11 Code and compares its requirements with measurement techniques currently being used in the moist environment of a wet cooling tower fan.

The purpose of this document is to provide steps in preventing "white rust" through the application of appropriate water treatment programs

The dissipation of heat in industrial cooling systems has long been a source of pollution

thus releasing the use of scarce and valuable higher grade water for other more important uses

This paper provides the results of these audits to date

Identifying the true cause(s) of building water system failures is critical to prevention

This paper also examines the limits of plume abatement technology to reduce the frequency of visible plumes

3-Triazoles are important components of corrosion inhibitor package of most cooling water formulations

but also from the economic value of the lost chromate itself
