An Intensive 3-day Training Course
Cooling Towers
Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting
INTRODUCTION
Cooling Towers are considered the vital element of the overall water cooling system in power generation plants, as well as in process and petrochemical plants. The efficiency of cooling towers relies on the accurate and reliable information on the outdoor wet bulb temperature, required to avoid cooling tower increased water and energy usage and reduced lifetime of fans and pumps. Operation of cooling tower in general faces many safety and health challenges related to the use of water, which requires continuous control of corrosion rate and microbiological growth, the corresponding chemical and physical water treatments represent important element in the overall energy consumption.
