The Power Industry's Requirements for Cooling Towers (TP-81A)
|
Hugh C. Crutchfield, Utah Power and Light Company
|
1970
|
|
Abstract:
This paper will deal with projected increases in kilowatt-hours in the
continental United States, analyzing where the largest power complexes
are expected to be built as dictated by fuel and water availability,
load centers, air quality criteria, thermal effects on receiving
waters, aesthetics, and other siting considerations. The methods
available for dissipation of waste heat will be discussed, including
the role of cooling towers in power plant heat cycles. Other matters
for consideration are the need for better information on writing
specifications and the need for better information on operating
problems, maintenance costs, and performance.

Proving Power Plant Towers (TP-82A)

James L. Willa, Lilie-Hoffmann Cooling Towers, Inc.

1970

Abstract:
No matter how well a cooling tower is built, if it does not cool the
water to the specified conditions, then increased operating costs for
the unit involved are incurred from the very beginning. It is of
particular importance, as the size and cost of these units continue to
increase such as in the case of the natural draft towers, that
stringent field performance testing be maintained to assure guaranteed
performance. Therefore, proper testing procedure with proper
instruments, conducted by qualified personnel, is of essential
importance in maintaining and improving the cooling tower industry as
we proceed into the 70's, a period of greatly increase concern
with both air and water pollution.

Operating Feedback of French Cooling Towers Civil Work and Equipment (TP-90-03)
|
P. Coic, Electricite De France
|
1990
|
|
Abstract:
As the owner of twenty six natural draught wet cooling towers,
EDF has set up a specific organization aimed at monitoring the
evolution of civil works and equipment. The subject of this
presentation is to explain EDF's operating feedback and the
problems encountered, and to describe the methods used and the
studies carried out. The main concerns are the behavior of the
shell, the availability during winter periods and the ageing of
the heat exchange equipment.

With "New-Age Brands" Into a "Brand-New Age"

Abstract:
Having had trouble with the mechanical equipment in two
thirty-cell cooling towers for more than 20 years, Matrai Power
Plant in Hungary decided in 1990 to replace all former
"solutions" with one "Quality Set" for the different
performances. The only restriction was to maintain the
18.5-kw/725 rpm electric motors. This paper summarizes the
steps, which had to be taken technically, and "organizationally"
to close consecutive contracts over a period of more than 7
years and how "things" drastically changed in Hungary over this
period of time.

Circular Hybrid Cooling Towers
|
Andreas Streng, Ph.D., Balcke-Duerr Energietechnik GmbH
|
2000
|
|
Abstract:
Hybrid cooling towers of the classical design with separate wet
and dry sections have constituted a proven technology in the
recooling field for approximately the past two decades. The
round type of construction however is only used for high thermal
performances, in particular for power stations, and is at
present less well known. Another feature of this type of cooling
tower is the separate machine sets allocated to the wet section
and dry section respectively as well as automatic operation to
an optimized overall performance. The advantageous features of
the round type of hybrid cooling tower compared to the cell-type
construction are less space required, lower operating cost, and
lower power consumption. In the future the round construction
will therefore increasingly replace the currently predominant
cell type construction for large power station applications.
