02-09: A Temporary Cooling Tower CAN Work For YouTemporary cooling towers allow for a contingency plan of the heart of the plant that will save time and money in the event of an unexpected loss. They provide increased worker safety during reconstruction as well as protecting the environment and "keeping the lights on" at the power plant. The plant can "try before you buy" to provide undisputable evidence of the impact of cooler water. Add to all of this the ability to maintain full production during

A challenge in successful operation of cooling towers today with VFD's revolves more around proper application than technological limitations in the equipment

we recognize that noise instruments use microphones

This paper discusses the performance under stressed conditions

A variety of biocides are used to control microbial populations in cooling systems

louvers and similar applications on cooling towers

Several new approaches for improving performance and productivity in the treatment of plant cooling water systems are discussed

without significant problems

Baffles called drift eliminators are placed between the nozzles and the fan to minimize (through inertial impaction) the amount of entrained water droplets that are discharged into the atmosphere

dropping the theoretical cold water temperature limit to the ambient dew point

Biofouling control has always been a difficult task for cooling tower treatment programs

Suspended solids and phosphorous removal at levels greater than 90% is achieved

Special fieldwork and lab research has shown interesting relationships between the level of organic fouling and the degree of concentrate pitting type corrosion on stainless steel surface
