00-16: Safe Construction of Field Erected Cooling TowersField construction and repair of cooling towers often involves safety, health and environment conditions for employees. This fact has long been acknowledged by cooling tower construction companies. There is, however a growing interest in employee safety by the customers, which employ tower suppliers to construct or repair towers in the field. This paper will discuss potential hazards on a cooling tower jobsite, state procedures to correct the

which have led to a novel new product

The fouling of surfaces can reduce heat transfer and cooling efficiencies

Unfortunately

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a family of liquid biocides based on bromine chloride as the active ingredient

Architectural enclosures for cooling towers are not a new phenomena

distributing

the largest single area of cost overrun is in supervision and labor costs

detailing kinetics of film formation for various surface deposited film inhibitors not previously reported

rapid bioassay and an on-line chemical analyzer can be used to control the effectiveness of biocides in open recirculating cooling systems permitting the optimization of the biocide program to achieve the most cost effective control

it is possible to lower fan power significantly

and/or organic contamination could foul electrode surfaces

labor-intensive task involving the microscopic examination and statistical extrapolation
