Standard for Publication of Custom Cooling Tower Thermal Performance - STD 202 Cooling Tower Water Chemistry

Standard for Publication of Custom Cooling Tower Thermal Performance - STD 202 Cooling Tower Water ChemistryThis Standard sets forth a program whereby manufacturers of custom cooling towers voluntarily allow the results of their CLTTA tests to be published under the requirements of this program. Revised April 2021

Two large natural gas-fired

mediocre performance near a neutral pH

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

Predicting operational service time of heat exchangers between forced maintenance outages is a subject

There are an infinite number of HP/RPM/shaft combinations that could be requested from a direct drive motor manufacturer

A numerical model to predict the ice transport and accumulation at the river intake was developed and validated

in a comparative study of ten commercially available additive formulations1

Cooling tower emission rates are usually presented as a Drift Fraction which is defined as the ration of the water exiting the tower as drift divided by the circulating water flow rate

Analytical information which assist in defining performance and explaining results will also be presented in order to enhance the reader's understanding of these programs

especially in the high pH environments common to many of today's cooling water systems

Chromate-based inhibitors have been widely used in cooling systems for corrosion control for many years

Difficulties included poor performance of an upstream multi-media filter
