92-14: Evaluation of Alternatives to Gaseous Chrlorine for Cooling Water Thermal Performance

92-14: Evaluation of Alternatives to Gaseous Chrlorine for Cooling Water Thermal PerformanceRecent environmental, safety, and disclosure concerns when gaseous chlorine is used and stored on site for microbiological control have forced many cooling systems to consider alternative oxidative micro biocides. This paper shares field experiences and results in general industrial and process contaminated systems using viable (hypochlorite, bromide, chlorine dioxide) oxidative technologies, providing criteria to determine the best approach for

Information will also be presented which should be helpful in doing calculations for elevations other than sea level

and disturbed flow profiles

Evaporative cooling towers serve the heat rejection needs of a wide variety of industries

The CTI ATC-105 Acceptance Test Code covers the determination thermal capability of evaporative water cooling towers

The occurance of fan stall appears to be a common factor in an increasing number of cooling tower thermal performance problems

In cooling tower water chemical treatment

and concrete have been used as structural materials in cooling towers for decades

you may have been associated with the pulp and paper or textile industries where many tons of ClO2 are generated and consumed on-site each day

coal-fired plants

and microbiological fouling
