86-01: Comprehensive Drift Measurements on a Circular Mechanical Draft Cooling History of Cooling TowersComprehensive drift measurements were made on multiple cells of a circular crossflow mechanical draft cooling tower. The data include both Isokinetic mineral mass flux determinations and liquid droplet flux and sizing determinations using a sensitive paper methodology. Cell to cell variations are presented along with the results of repeatability measurements. Additionally updraft air velocity and waterflow measurement results are provided. The

acting as a window into the cooling system

pumping head reduction methodology investigated

which transmits fluid under pressure to a hydraulic motor at the top of the tower

up to 50 feet

This paper will focus on how the cooling towers were rebuilt and strengthened

With these “physical treatment” devices you can eliminate the reported disadvantages of handling and inventorying chemicals

Of concern to the user of a Mechanical Draft Cooling Tower are the performance

once the problem has manifest itself

This is particularly true in areas like the Western and Southwestern states and Mexico where the feed raw water has high silica
