Cooling Towers, Drift and Legionellosis Tom Bugler and Barry Fields, Evapco, Inc. 2009
Abstract: By itself, the presence of legionellae in a cooling tower is insufficient to predict the potential for disease transmission because other factors are involved. This paper will describe details about one of the important factors, cooling tower air emissions, by providing a comprehensive technical understanding of drift quantity, droplet distribution, and plume dispersion. By understanding these air emission details, ranges of Legionella bacteria concentration at distances from the tower can be estimated as a function of legionellae concentration in the tower water.
A Systematic Review of Biocides Used in Cooling Towers for the Prevention and Control of Legionella ssp. Contamination Kelly Rangel, University of Texas Health and Science Center 2009
Abstract: The use of biocides is very important for controlling Legionella contamination in evaporative cooling systems. This study is a systematic review of research studies that evaluated the effectiveness of biocides in evaporative cooling systems for Legionella control.
