TP18-23 Comparative Evaluation of Pitot Tube Designs for Water Flow Measurement Thermal Performance

TP18-23 Comparative Evaluation of Pitot Tube Designs for Water Flow Measurement Thermal PerformanceThe Simplex pitot tube has long been used for water flow rate determinations. However, the accuracy of Simplex based flow measurements is known to be negatively impacted affected by a number of commonly occurring flow conditions including high flow velocity, Reynolds number sensitivity, and disturbed flow profiles. CleanAir Engineering was contracted by the Cooling Technology Institute to conduct research regarding the suitability of two new candidate

corrosion rates using various inhibitors and affects of halogenated compounds

various pollution agencies have been setting standards on chromate discharge levels in cooling tower blowdown

Prior to initiating reinforced concrete repairs at a Cooling Tower

and/or economic benefits (reduced operating costs)

reducing the uncertainty of the results

back-to-back configurations create more recirculation than in-line

Preservative treatment of cooling tower lumber has been considered a necessity for many years

water conservation and recycling with a focus on sustainability

During the past decade

On-line chemical analysis is not needed

Existing concrete cooling tower has been replaced by new steel structure cooling tower

The additional requirements that current applications may require
