Cooling tower is a very important unit operation in the processing industries. It is imperative to minimize the cost of running the operation of the cooling tower. The purpose of a cooling tower or condenser system is to reuse and reduce water usage. Determining the conductivity set point of the system is important to maximum [...]
It is good to have a software to help us analyze about the cooling tower in our plant. To do that, let me introduce Cooling Tower Analysis is a powerful, user friendly, program for the analysis of induced, mechanical-draft, counterflow cooling towers. The program can be used for the analysis of existing towers or for [...]
When you have chosen to use the cooling tower water treatment system, it is most important to remember to not ignore the maintenance required. The water carries bacterial growth in it whether it flows through the faucet or if it is flowing through a cooling tower. If this water is not treated as soon as [...]
Legionnaire’s Disease (Legionellosis) and Evaporative Cooling System Maintenance Recommendations What is Legionnaire’s Disease It is a bacterial infection that is characterized by pneumonia. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), legionnaire’s disease is caused by bacteria known as Legionella pneumophila. There are at least 43 species of legionella however, it is the Legionella pneumophila [...]
Here in the Phoenix metropolitan area, adverse water conditions require intelligent water treatment strategies to adequately maintain water cooled equipment. Proper management of the characteristics of the cooling tower sump water along with maintaining good tower hygiene in general accomplishes at least four positive things. 1) It avoids wasting excess water. 2) It inhibits scale [...]
