02-01: Analysis of Thermal Performance Test Data of Large Cooling Towers UsingThe paper will outline procedures and practices followed to complete thermal performance tests on large utility cooling towers in accordance with the provisions of the new CTI ATC 105 Acceptance Test Code. Case studies of actual tests on crossflow and counterflow cooling towers with the results determined using the CTI ToolKit Software would be included in the paper. The presentation will incorporate a live demonstration using the software to evaluate

Nomenclature

The pulsation force is a combination of the aerodynamically generated pressure difference between the upstream and downstream side of the fan blade and the velocity (under) pressure generated by the surface of the blade tip

state procedures to correct the potential hazards

Such factors include interference from non-Legionella organisms

Controlling bacterial populations in the bulk water and on cooling system surfaces is necessary to maintain and operate the cooling system properly

Results from field trials will be reported in which Aseptrol biocide was dosed into cooling systems via this feeder

industry has been struggling to conserve energy with some success

The treatment does not alter pH & conductivity of treated water and treatment cost is in agreement with Alum & Lime treatment

OEM's and suppliers are facing lower and lower near and far field noise limits with respect to their equipment

replacements

At the same time

some towers suffered from important fouling issues and we had to clean
