TP22-27: Evaluation of the Thermal Performance of Various Tubular Splash Bar HeightsSplash bars are one of the oldest methods to increase cooling potential within a cooling tower and have seen significant improvement throughout history. The earliest splash bars were simply wooden planks positioned in a checkerboard pattern. As plastic resins became a widespread and inexpensive material, they became the obvious choice for decreased cost and increased life. The earliest plastic bars replicated the simple shape of wooden planks. But

the actual data that was taken during the initial washing of the wetted section of the treated wood during start-up and the methods used to meet environmental regulations and project goals for system start-up

Electro-oxidation technology can be a viable option to address current shortcoming in the cooling water treatment

z-shaped strips

These limits place an impact on the type of water treatment used in the majority of cooling-tower water systems

Upgrading and rebuilding of cooling towers during plant outages is common practice in industry

This index could be utilized to set relative values on water and energy usage for codes or for guidance in "green" applications

allowing for the assessment for potential MIC activity that has influenced the corrosion rates and type of corrosion detected

In many respects

High cycle operation

A multi-functional cooling water treatment chemical is applied to a cooling tower system using a diffusion-based technology utilizing patented coated tablets

This paper will follow the design process and installation then follow up with detailed results

water quality analyses and data management methods to document the historical operation
