15-24: New Cooling Tower Nozzle - Low FlowThis paper is based on a previous one from 2010 where a new full cone cooling tower nozzle of a much better distribution quality was described. An additional spray nozzle will be presented here to extend the working range of full cone nozzles. The main target of these R&D efforts was and is the improvement of the evenness of water distribution in cooling towers and consequentially the overall cooling performance. The paper discusses the development

Referring to the ecology of Legionella pneumophila in the water system

Conventional alkaline treatments utilize phosphonate for calcium carbonate scale control and azole (tolyl triazole) for copper corrosion inhibition

This specification covers the most common fills

Material (PVC & polypropylene)

building plants at low cost has been the priority rather than the performance

120°F and 150°F

it is suggested that there are specific instances where the prevention of contaminants may be a more viable solution

To address these issues at a major corn processing plant

This yields continued improvements for the tower operator

This publication will address these factors with case studies in an effort to minimize risk of loss

resulting in a significant improvement in overall thermal performance

Previous CTI publications show that certain cooling tower configurations and designs are more responsible than others for creating recirculation environments
