70-02: Environmental Aspects of Cooling Tower Plumes Energy EvaluationThis paper outlines the air pollution aspects of water cooling towers in relation to the future trends, especially in the power generating industry. It will also include mention of the possible inadvertent weather modification effects associated with larger units such as natural draft hyperbolic towers.

This specification covers the material of construction

and water saving of more than 2

produces a real hazard

the frequency of fan air flow testing to verify new or existing fan performances in cooling towers and air-cooled heat exchangers has increased

mechanical draft

As with any new material

A review of water treatment technology and its impact on water use

This paper researches technology to aid in defining the term "Green" as it applies to cooling water systems

and disclosure concerns when gaseous chlorine is used and stored on-site for microbiological control have forced many cooling systems to consider alternative oxidative micro-biocides

bacteria growth necessarily leads to biofilm deposits within the cooling system

This paper presents the technical basis for a new Oriented Spray-assisted Cooling Tower design developed by the authors while employed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)

The correlation between the psychrometer and the thermodynamic wet bulb temperature is reviewed
