15-13: Outside/Inside Approach to Evaluating Concrete Elements in Mechanical Cooling Tower Water Blowdown Treatment

15-13: Outside/Inside Approach to Evaluating Concrete Elements in Mechanical Cooling Tower Water Blowdown TreatmentThe Paper will address an innovative technique for assessing the condition of reinforced concrete elements in Mechanical Draft Cooling Towers while on line and off line. These assessments assist Asset Owners with the preparation of Repair Budgets and in making enlightened decisions for these critical assets which are typically the last piece of equipment taken down before an outage and the first piece of equipment brought up after an outage. Case

Several failed columns and horizontal members were also damaged from ice

NWD can be used as wet/dry cooling tower by using wet/dry lanes as dry sections which are acting similar to finned tube dry sections

The results are expressed in terms of water cooling capacity
