Annotated Bibliography of Cooling System Literature Michell, F.L. and D. H. Drew. On-Line Performance Monitoring of the 1300 MW Natural Draft Cooling Towers on American Electric Power’s General James M. Gavin Plant. CTI Journal (1997). Notes: Discussion of the methods for monitoring very large, natural draft cooling towers and the problems with the equipment for making the measurements. Measurements of ambient temperatures and wet bulbs, circulating water flow rates and data averaging procedures are discussed. The paper is of limited value for the issues of cooling system selection for combined cycle plants in California but does emphasize the difficulties of determining actual cooling performance being realized from an operating cooling tower. 2 references. Miliaris, E.S. Power Plants with Air-Cooled Condensing Systems. The MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts ( 1974). Notes: Textbook consisting of 14 Sections and 4 appendices 234 pages long. It is organized by cooling system type and includes direct and indirect systems, barometric and surface condensers, detailed descriptions of heat transfer and fluid flow computational procedures for finned tube heat exchangers, and extensive treatments of the thermodynamic optimization methods for application to power plants. Additional Sections deal with the system planning aspects of system selection by utility companies. Detailed information on plants in existence at the time is provided. A treatment of determining the loss of plant capability and increased cooling system load at increased back pressure included. Extensive references are given in each Section; total for the book is several hundred. Mirsky, G. and J. Bauthier. Cooling Towers: New Developments for New Requirements. EPRI TR-104867. 94. Palo Alto. CA, Electric Power Research Institute. Notes: Addresses the design of cooling towers for combined cycle power plants. The discussion is organized around three sets of requirements: water use and pollution, noise and visibility. Particular attention is given to determining the cooling tower requirements for the special case of a combined cycle power plant where the steam part of the cycle accounts for only about 1/3 of the plant output but for which the cycle efficiency may be fairly poor compared to stand- alone steam plants. Order of magnitude cost comparisons are provided based on the authors’ corporate experience. No sources are provided. 4 references. Mirsky, G., K. Bryant, and J-P. Libert. The Latest Worldwide Technology in Environmentally Designed Cooling Towers. CTI Journal 13, (1992). Notes: Reviews some advanced approaches to improving the environmental characteristics for cooling towers at power plants. Specific topics include low noise designs; injection of scrubbed flue gas into tower air stream; low drift designs; new EPA testing methods; thermal performance; asbestos removal and replacement; water conservation; zero discharge towers; and plume abatement or elimination. Order of magnitude cost estimates are given for some of these approaches. Missimer, J.R. and D. Wheeler. Characterization of Drift Rates and Drift Droplet Distribution for Mechanical Draft Cooling Towers. (1997). Notes: Discusses drift measurement methods and presents data on drift rates and drift droplet size distribution obtained from 57 drift tests made over the previous 23 years. The results are grouped by tower type and by drift eliminator. Results from different sampling methods A-14
