Cooling Tower Process •
As ambient air is drawn past a flow of water, a small portion of the water evaporate. The energy released by water for evaporation reduces the remaining water temperature
•
Evaporation results in saturated air conditions and lowers the temperature of the water to a value close to wet bulb air temperature

•
Scale and fouling deposition is more prone to occur at low velocity
•
Lower flow rate, lower turbulence that can lead to static thicker film of water at metal surfaces à reduces heat transfer
•
Lower velocity = higher skin temperature

Blow Down and Cycle •
Blow down – portion of the water ejected or drained from a system to control solids in cooling water
•
Cycle – number of times that dissolved minerals in cooling water are allowed to concentrate. Cycle is controlled by blowdown
•
Cycle = Dissolved Solids Concentration in Cooling Water Dissolved Solids Concentration in M-Up
•
In general, the cycle of concentration allowed depends on both the level of solids in the make-up and the level of solids that can be tolerated in cooling water

Corrosion Inhibitors – Cathodic & Anodic Cathodic inhibition Prevents the transfer of electrons à prevent the reduction of oxygen.
Anodic inhibition prevents the dissolution of the base metal, iron.
•
Combinations of both anodic and cathodic inhibitors generally provide the best protection.
•
These combinations are called “synergistic” because the combination provides lower corrosion rates than either inhibitor could alone,

Cooling Tower Process •
As ambient air is drawn past a flow of water, a small portion of the water evaporate. The energy released by water for evaporation reduces the remaining water temperature
•
Evaporation results in saturated air conditions and lowers the temperature of the water to a value close to wet bulb air temperature

Blow Down and Cycle •
Blow down – portion of the water ejected or drained from a system to control solids in cooling water
•
Cycle – number of times that dissolved minerals in cooling water are allowed to concentrate. Cycle is controlled by blowdown
•
Cycle = Dissolved Solids Concentration in Cooling Water Dissolved Solids Concentration in M-Up
•
In general, the cycle of concentration allowed depends on both the level of solids in the make-up and the level of solids that can be tolerated in cooling water

Corrosion Inhibitors – Cathodic & Anodic Cathodic inhibition Prevents the transfer of electrons à prevent the reduction of oxygen.
Anodic inhibition prevents the dissolution of the base metal, iron.
•
Combinations of both anodic and cathodic inhibitors generally provide the best protection.
•
These combinations are called “synergistic” because the combination provides lower corrosion rates than either inhibitor could alone,
