TP11-25: Cooling Tower Plume Zero Discharge

The paper discusses the development and the results

Power plant condenser tube represents a significant metallic surface area exposed to a wide compositional range of cooling waters

This code covers the determination of the thermal capability of mechanical drift dry fluid coolers of both the forced and induced draft type

A discussion of the resulting under deposit corrosion

Since the early seventies

A model is presented which predicts the performance of an evaporative cooling system at other than the tested operation point

health care

The materials used over the years are covered

Make-up waters with elevated calcium hardness tend to increase the risk of scaling in circulating cooling systems where the concentration of calcium increases through higher Cycles of Concentration (COC)

Although they provide superior performance

It is therefore

Results of laboratory studies and field case histories are presented
