Field trials

A new field method for enumerating viable Legionella and total heterotrophic aerobic bacteria was evaluated in hundreds of laboratory experiments and from analysis of over two thousand field samplers used in actual operating conditions

much of the procedure has application for wood towers as well

providing criteria to determine the best approach for future operation of cooling water systems in the absence of gaseous chlorine

metallurgical and petroleum industry shows potential to energy recovery by each technology

A series of numerical analyses are conducted with the assistance of coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural analysis to estimate the air-cooled steam condensing heat exchanger tube life expectancy in extremely cold ambient conditions

Maintaining concrete cooling towers over time has long been a challenge for owners

Surface analysis was used to identify passivation films and correlate their chemical composition to respective treatment and water conditions

Regular chemical testing and trending of data will highlight undesirable effects before they become serious using the proper installation and use of performance-measuring devices

The Simplex pitot tube has long been used for water flow rate determinations

The switches are not even close

Four of these modules
