08-10: A Simplified Method to Evaluate Cooling Tower and Condenser Performance Plume Abatement

08-10: A Simplified Method to Evaluate Cooling Tower and Condenser Performance Plume AbatementA simple mathematical method will be proposed to estimate the cooling tower performance at off design ambient conditions. The cooling tower data will be used as a starting point and the CTI toolkit will be used to calculate psychrometric properties and the Merkel number at off design conditions to calculate the temperature of the cold water leaving the cooling tower using the slop of the cooling tower characteristic curve. By applying first principles

installations at many different altitudes and power supplies with many different voltages

can be configured as a plume abatement-cooling tower with zero feasible plumes under all operating conditions

Historically Bromine based non-oxidizing biocides have been an industry standard with occasional Isothiazolin or Gluteraldhyde dosage

Laboratory systems have been developed to determine rate and extent of fouling as a function of wall shear stress

including a detailed study of the mechanism of film formation

fan power savings from 10% to more than 50% can be achieved along with water consumption savings from 10% to more than 30%
