20-01: Vibration Monitoring and Instrument Control in Cooling Towers Standards and Specifications

20-01: Vibration Monitoring and Instrument Control in Cooling Towers Standards and SpecificationsCooling towers are an important component for refineries, power generation plants, and many other industrial process facilities. Monitoring the cooling tower condition and conducting proper machinery control provide enormous advantages to production. Great benefits in avoiding downtime losses can be achieved through predictive and preventive maintenance. Vibration is one of the key parameters that is used to provide early warning of machine failure.

and consumes less energy and less water than either of the other options

Most of this damage could have been avoided had reasonable cold weather operating procedures been in effect
