77-10: Induce Draft Cooling Tower Noise and Its Control Fills

77-10: Induce Draft Cooling Tower Noise and Its Control FillsCooling towers generate noise which is not sufficiently loud to cause in plant noise problems at grade, but some may have an adverse impact on the adjacent community. This paper correlates chiefly noise data measured at Exxon process plants into a prediction technique for estimating induced draft cooling tower noise in communities adjacent to a plant.

Means & Methods have been developed to repair

Future power loads at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant will make the disposal of chromate and zinc corrosion inhibitors in the blowdown water mandatory

Additional practical benefits observed in commercial applications include reduction/elimination of proprietary biocides and biodispersants

have been explained briefly in the paper so that agencies party to PG tests can take an informed decision vis a vis the test conditions of the cold end system as a whole

A new designed tube bundle heat exchanger using in an evaporative cooling tower was investigated

The new biocide is fast-acting and controls algal grow thin recirculating cooling water as well as algal biofilms on tower decks

durability

for cooling towers were developed

Laboratory systems have been developed to determine rate and extent of fouling as a function of wall shear stress

The plume was impacting yard operations at an adjacent Operations Center

This paper will discuss the problem and propose corrective action
