97-04: Characterization of Drift Rates and Drift Droplet Distribution forThe results of over 50 drift test are drawn together to provide insight into the appropriate characterizations of both drift droplet distribution on mechanical draft cooling towers. Examination of the results from both high efficiency and low efficiency drift eliminators is included.

a simple mathematical model of the problem was prepared based on the use of analytical and empirical relationships that form the basis for derivation of the basic dependence of the plume diameter on the crucial physical parameters

Drift eliminators and the technology behind them continue to evolve as drift specifications grow more stringent and tower operators strive for the best performing products available to the marketplace

cooling tower performance and fan horsepower

The velocity at design point and the change in velocity affect the steam duct design and the tube bundle design

state procedures to correct the potential hazards

There are many reasons for this but primarily Halogen is different from every other type of water treatment because unlike other water treatment chemicals halogens are continuously being consumed or depleted

This paper will show laboratory test data and detail the effect on fill performance of the following items

resonant frequency concerns and other important parameters

products is similar to the order of solubility of the metal hydroxides

with its successes and challenges

premium labor costs for handling creosote caused it to fall from favor

brackish makeup and zero discharge
