93-02: Control of Microbiological Contaminants in Small Cooling Systems Energy Evaluation This paper is based on

This paper is based on a previous one from 2010 where a new full cone cooling tower nozzle of a much better distribution quality was described

The work involved demolition of the severely degraded crossflow cooling heat exchange system and installing an all new composite fiberglass support structure

Changes to national building codes and state building codes in California and Florida have given rise to special requirements for cooling towers to be able to withstand windload and seismic forces

rates of strength degradations are computed for critical components

combined with structural analysis

93-02: Control of Microbiological Contaminants in Small Cooling Systems Energy Evaluation This paper is based onMaintenance programs on the vast majority of cooling towers and attendant open recirculating water systems of 200 tons and smaller are owner administered. The primary means employed for control of microbiological contamination is hand dosing of commercially available biocides. Highlights of a one year study, conducted on a variety of cooling systems at a major university, are presented which show the effectiveness of the biocides and their recommended
