07-24: Living in a Material WorldThe proper selection of materials of construction is critical to ensuring long life, reduced maintenance, and operational reliability for evaporative cooling equipment. These functional needs must be balanced with the budgetary constraints on each project, both on a first cost and operating cost basis. This paper examines the wide range of materials currently available for components used in open and closed circuit cooling towers as well as

burning properties

but methods to do so require careful planning and selection

The company Special Water Europe BV and the KEMA Institute set out to test the effectiveness of the additive the Cool Puck in its laboratory using a small scale test assembly based on the Dutch Standard for assessing the performance of treatment programs for open re-circulating cooling tower water systems

to operate in order to provide the best net plant heat rate

Since that time

This paper is intended to explore the "typical" path that businesses go down when an unexpected cooling tower failure occurs

and air wet-bulb temperature are presented and discussed for both flow arrangements

This paper will point out the unique features of this family of products and show comparative field and laboratory data to aid in proper biocide selection
