Deposition characteristics of magnesium silicate and calcium carbonate in cooling tower water

Creator:

Lee, Sai Heep

Abstract:

Deposition characteristics of magnesium silicate and calcium carbonate on a heated surface in cooling tower water using city water as make-up was investigated. Flow velocity, bulk temperature and calcium hardness were maintained constant at 5.3 ft/ sec, 95°F and 150 ppm as CaCO₃ respectively whereas surface temperature varied from 105°F...

Effects of water quality and surface temperature on the scaling characteristics of cooling tower water

Creator:

Lahm, Lawrence

Abstract:

The fouling of cooling tower water was investigated as a function of heater surface temperature and water quality. In particular, the effects on fouling of the addition of calcium in excess of the amounts required for saturation were examined. First, the average bulk water temperature was 97 ± 1 degree...

Calcium carbonate scaling in a deluged dry cooling system

Creator:

Barton, Kathleen Patricia

Abstract:

Scaling characteristics of calcium carbonate on a heated surface in a deluged dry cooling system were investigated. Bulk temperature of the deluge water was maintained constant at 90°F. Air flow velocity was maintained constant at 181 cfm., and deluge water flow was maintained at the minimum level that provided thorough...
