77-08: Fan Performance Consideration in Cooling TowersOf concern to the user of a Mechanical Draft Cooling Tower are the performance, efficiency, and structural integrity of the axial flow fan assembly which moves the air through the tower and is an integral part of the cooling process as well as a significant contributor to initial and operating costs. Continuing research in fan design has significantly improved effectiveness, with the remaining principal research objective being a cost effective

A viable alternative eliminates shafts

subjective interpretation of test results

high cycle operation risks mineral scale formation

elimination of chemical container disposal issues and is environment all safe

This independent evaluation was monitored for over 11 months utilizing corrosion coupons

point sources

ranging from desalination to power generation

power plants

A substantial portion of the annual cooling water treatment costs at Enron Power Corporation in Texas City

This halogen stable phosphonate inhibitor shows efficacy for traditional continuous flow cooling systems and additionally for cooling systems characterized by low or no flow for extended periods of time

but easily implemented and converges quickly

This will include present costs and trends
