08-10: A Simplified Method to Evaluate Cooling Tower and Condenser Performance Repair and Construction Life expectancy predictions of wood

Life expectancy predictions of wood cooling towers are accomplished with the aid of nondestructive and/or destructive testing of representative samples of structural members and their connections

What is believed to be the world's first fiberglass

and facility managers of these types of structures

and it will give a procedure to be used to compare the relative performance of the fills

08-10: A Simplified Method to Evaluate Cooling Tower and Condenser Performance Repair and Construction Life expectancy predictions of woodA simple mathematical method will be proposed to estimate the cooling tower performance at off design ambient conditions. The cooling tower data will be used as a starting point and the CTI toolkit will be used to calculate psychrometric properties and the Merkel number at off design conditions to calculate the temperature of the cold water leaving the cooling tower using the slop of the cooling tower characteristic curve. By applying first principles
