23-01: A Brief History of Cooling Towers Environmental Importance

23-01: A Brief History of Cooling Towers Environmental ImportanceWill provide some details of the evolution of evaporative cooling tower designs, installations and applications starting with the first installation dating back to the beginning of the 19th Century. Advancement of materials of construction, performance improvement, water use conservation and reduction of environmental impact will also be included.

Field-testing over an 18-month period has identified two viable approaches to zero-blowdown (high eyolo) operation

as expressed by calcite saturation ratio

Ultrasonic technology Is a non-chemical treatment approach that has been proven successful in meeting these objectives

customers want to verify that they are getting all the performances they were promised by the fan manufacturer - (i

performance data from field trials will be presented that compares efficacy and cooling system operation during treatment with Aseptrol biocide to baseline data collected during treatment with other biocides

and manufacturing errors

We will discuss one of the newest and most important of those emergent products today
