13-14: Prevention of Corrosion, Erosion and Abrasion in Cooling TowersAsset preservation is a major priority among utilities and communities. Within Cooling Towers, the forces of corrosion, abrasion, and erosion can have devastating effects. Changes in cooling Tower design and water treatment practices are, in some cases, elevating the exposure. The use of protective materials is becoming increasingly critical to extending the life of cooling tower infrastructure. Sauereisen will present multiple solutions for restoring

Cooling tower water distribution piping is typically designed for normal water flow rates and low operating pressures

Perhaps therefore

Research engineers have been striving hard to strike a balance between airflow produced and power consumed that will make the fan of optimum efficiency

and general condition at time of rebuild will be reviewed

corrosion losses

The spray patterns of eight different nozzles from the international cooling tower market were investigated inside a hall with the result that there are no nozzles available which provide an even water distribution as it is achieved in other industries

What is the universe of factors that affect a cooling system and how do they affect successful long- term maximization of system performance and minimization of deterioration and premature failure

A code to develop standardized test procedures and evaluation techniques also designed to provide a uniform method to compare relative water treatment program performance in a cooling water system

which generally results in the applied removal of the troublesome contaminant from a given fluid
