12-23: Film Fill Fouling: Updated Methods, Results, and Predictions Energy Evaluation March 1998

March 1998

Pollution problems originate

The Code-recognized test standard AC156 provides a generic methodology for verifying post-earthquake functionality

Resulting restrictions in freshwater availability for evaporative cooling use may lead to potential production constraints

thus releasing the use of scarce and valuable higher grade water for other more important uses

12-23: Film Fill Fouling: Updated Methods, Results, and Predictions Energy Evaluation March 1998Film fill fouling is an important problem in modern power plant and industrial process cooling. This paper will present current laboratory and field fouling evaluation methods. Also reviewed are the history of application of various film fill geometries, in situ water conditions, and the resulting condition of those fills.
