81-07: Cooling Tower - Money Making MachinesThe question regarding what can be done to a cooling tower to decrease the sump temperature to improve plant performance is reviewed. Examples are discussed.

Reducing conditions generally require the implementation of a non-chrome contingency program

A new method of comparison for existing cooling tower fills has been developed and the performance of the best packing has been expressed in relation to the ideal packing

due to its good corrosion resistance and heat transfer characteristics

an international power generation facility replaced 28 sets of rear reduction drives and supporting structure with new

Wohlberg showed that freshly corroding metals are effective in removing

it affects and/or limits the range of turbine operation

and/or economic benefits (reduced operating costs)

and cell count were measured regularly on the water supplied to the sampling stubs

This is occurring due to various issues including
