12-01: Natural Draft Cooling Tower Ring Replacement: Unique Construction Specifications of Cooling Tower Water TreatmentsThis paper presents the technical, logistical and scheduling challenges encountered to complete the project during a 49 day outage, which included preassembly of sixty four (64), 15 ton pultruded structural fiberglass modules. More than 150 workers logged 94,000 man hours with zero safety incidents, (2) days ahead of schedule, allowing early plant restart and commissioning. The completed tower provides PPL additional generation capacity while

in this solution high stress levels occur in the connecting elements and

and cell count were measured regularly on the water supplied to the sampling stubs

which of course is the primary material in many condenser tubes

Case histories and comparisons will be presented

site restrictions

This paper will discuss the approach and results used in this cooling tower application

Research engineers have been striving hard to strike a balance between airflow produced and power consumed that will make the fan of optimum efficiency

Empirical data can be used for this or other scale inhibiting chemicals to determine this constant

Several typical examples will be presented along with appropriate charts and graphs to clarify proper application

A detailed description of both the design and operation will be given

Case studies of actual tests on crossflow and counterflow cooling towers with the results determined using the CTI ToolKit Software would be included in the paper

This paper will discuss
