84-01: EPRI Research on Cooling Tower Performance Legionnaires' Disease

84-01: EPRI Research on Cooling Tower Performance Legionnaires' DiseaseOne of the primary goals of EPRI's Heat Waste and Water Management Program is to improve the ability of the utility industry to predict and test the performance of power plant cooling systems. The object of this work is to develop uniform methods that will aid the industry in specifying cooling systems, evaluating bids, performing retrofitting studies, and testing system thermal performance. Current work includes research on once through systems,

These new programs were designed to handle low through high hardness

Particular interests are the range of applicability

Parish lake made the construction of cooling towers essential with the last two generating units

This non-conventional design tower would serve as the ultimate heat sink for the reactor plant following a postulated design basis accident

This paper focuses on identifying the three main causes of fouling honey-comb PVC fill — suspended solids

Over the past several years

Revised August 2022

an experimental program was developed and executed to evaluate the effect of drift eliminator design on cooling tower fan system performance

vapor condensers

The transfer and fate of chromium from cooling tower drift to terrestrial ecosystems were quantified at the Department of Energy's uranium enrichment facility at Paducah

switchgear

or water discharge permits are a problem
