86-03: Status Report: Cooling Tower Performance Project Fills

86-03: Status Report: Cooling Tower Performance Project FillsThe current status of the EPRI Cooling Tower Performance Test Facility Project, described at the 1984 CTI Annual Conference, is reported. Operating experience and test results from the Small Scale Test Facility and full scale facilities at Houston Light & Power stations are presented. Results from computer codes to predict tower performance, including one developed and validated in Europe, are included. Elimination of the need for a hot water

Cooling towers are designed to achieve the specified cooling capacity at the highest ambient wet bulb temperatures for the area in which it will be operated

both at the production plant and the construction site to ensure each member satisfies the minimum visual and structural standards

This manuscript tells how this was done along with the benefits and hazards

ranging from 251 ± 19 ppm at 15 meters to 0

including known hazards and causes and the difference between repairable and unrepairable deterioration

fouling which occurs on the process side is determined more precisely

This paper will discuss the corrosion protection methodology for concrete as it relates to cooling tower structures

This change has occurred due to concern about waste heat disposal and thermal pollution effects caused by traditional once through systems
