80-01: The Effect of Fan Tip Clearance on Cooling Towers Performance Non Oxidizing Biocides Owners must give special consideration

Owners must give special consideration to the specifications of the fire wall system they are requesting for their cooling towers

They do this by capturing the water droplets and returning them to the water tower

Examples of evaluations of current conditions and life expectancy projections are provided for cooling towers owned by Appalachian Power Co

many users are or will be facing growing competition for the use of freshwater resources

80-01: The Effect of Fan Tip Clearance on Cooling Towers Performance Non Oxidizing Biocides Owners must give special considerationOne of the parameters that affect the performance of axial flow fans of induced draft cooling towers is the clearance between the tip of the fan blade and the fan stack. Fan performance in turn influences the behavior of the cooling tower as a whole. Very little full scale information is available to indicate the magnitude of the effect of tip clearance on cooling tower performance. This paper presents test data taken on actual cooling tower
