14-26: CooliSS: A Modeling Tool for Scaling Prediction in Condenser CoolingOne of the main issues of condenser open recirculating cooling systems is scaling. This can have high economic consequences due to a loss of thermal exchange, and increase of maintenance costs and potentially plant shutdown. To tackle this problem, EDF, which operates 30 condenser open cooling circuits in nuclear power plants in France, has developed a modeling computer program called CooliSS, to help optimize chemical treatment. CooliSS is based on a
