TP22-26: Sizing of Plume Abatement CoilsPlume abatement coils are used to reduce prevent visible plumes of moisture exiting a wet cooling tower fan stack. Typically, this is done by mixing in dry, heated ambient air with the moist air stream exiting the drift eliminators. The cold ambient air passes over the airside of the coil and is heated by transferring heat from a hot fluid source flowing on the tube side of the coil. The paper will present the methodology and equations required to

more detailed and open-minded investigations of future outbreaks

As presented in the previous paper

Some of the monitoring tools used to determine adequate treatment concentrations and to optimize performance with respect to chemical costs and avoided costs are described

Life expectancy predictions of wood cooling towers are accomplished with the aid of nondestructive and/or destructive testing of representative samples of structural members and their connections

rapid genetic test method for Legionella and results from the follow-on study of a cooling tower at a corporate headquarters of a medical device company that documented the validity of the results of the laboratory study

other first cost items which vary between one bid and another

for the end-user to apply chemical customization techniques

as well as indirect measurement of biofilm development which serves as measures of fouling (frictional resistance and heat transfer resistance)

Results from laboratory application testing and field performance evaluations will be presented

In a recirculated cooling water system

Although conventional chemical treatments address these issues
