69-07: Application of AC Motors to Cooling Towers Water Reuse In the course of this

In the course of this paper

the timing is right to review the capability of these new motors in cooling tower applications

A hydraulic network analysis helped in identifying pinch points in the large piping network with over 120 pipe segments and more than 18 process units

Sensor mounting can significantly affect both overall vibration and FFT data

many design features must be considered to produce optimum performance

69-07: Application of AC Motors to Cooling Towers Water Reuse In the course of thisThe application of AC squirrel cage motors to cooling towers requires special consideration to problems of high humidity, loads that vary with ambient temperature, installations at many different altitudes and power supplies with many different voltages. Torque and inertia acceleration capability are also of major concern. With the motor industry presently completing its transition to NEMA T frames, the timing is right to review the capability of
