00-01: Design Features and their Affect on High Performance Fill Cleaning Systems Unchecked biofouling can lead to

Unchecked biofouling can lead to shut down cooling water operations and created potential human exposure hazards

The pretreatment and corrosion control program used gave excellent results for biological fouling

There are instances when an owner wants to assess the thermal performance of just an individual cell of a cooling tower as per ATC 105

and disturbed flow profiles

Three separate 50 days research studies using ammonia and phenol stripped coal gasification condensate from the Great Plains Coal Gasification Plant were performed

00-01: Design Features and their Affect on High Performance Fill Cleaning Systems Unchecked biofouling can lead toIn the design of a high performance cooling tower fill, many design features must be considered to produce optimum performance. This paper will show laboratory test data and detail the effect on fill performance of the following items; Flute geometry (cross corrugated, offset tube, vertical tube), Cross corrugated flute angle, Sheet pitch (19mm vs. 20mm vs. 17mm vs. 12mm), Microstructure (course, fine, none), Material (PVC & polypropylene), Module
