18-03: Thermal Performance of Cooling Tower fills – Experimental InvestigationThe paper will focus on the development of Eskoms new standardized fill test facility with which various fill materials can be tested and compared, using the Stellenbosch University test facility as a basis. Details regarding the fill performance testing methodology, using the Merkel theory as analysis basis, for the standardized test facility are also presented. Finally, the test results of a reference fill are presented in terms of the air side

A variety of biocides are used to control microbial populations in cooling systems

Recent environmental

including concrete cover to reinforcement

Steps for achieving higher tower rate cycles and monitoring systems results are explained

focused on energy usage and power demands

either below or above the fan in a cooling tower

on both individual spray module and a specific arrangement of modules using simplified analytical techniques

drift and impact on corrosion

This is done using known data in seawater and methods developed by CTI

and the required treatment considerations are provided in this presentation

let us go back several years to understand the reasons for its existence

Cooling water treatments are applied to concentrated waters in laboratory cooling towers
