Annotated Bibliography of Cooling System Literature improvement; design innovations; fouling and corrosion prevention; and operation and maintenance. Primary emphasis of the meeting was on wet cooling with only three papers on dry or wet/dry systems. (Summaries of the important papers related to dry systems given under the entries for the individual papers.) {Goldschagg et al., Hoffmann and Kroeger, Mirsky and Bauthier} . van der Spek, H. F. and P. J. M. Nelissen. Advanced Low Noise Cooling Fans. EPRI TR- 104867. 95. Palo Alto, CA, Electric Power Research Institute. Notes: Describes a research program to develop and test low noise fans for cooling tower application. Good description of testing procedures. Analyses and data are presented relating noise reduction to fan power reduction. Good description is provided of the sources of noise and the general approach used to reduce it. 2 references. Varley, J. Eskom’s Majuba: at the peak of its career. Modern Power Systems . 1999 . Notes: Description of the Majuba Power Station in South Africa, a 4100 MWe plant with six units, three of which use air-cooled condensers. The difference between the units on wet cooling towers and those on air-cooled condensers is an increase in capacity from 660 MWe to 715 MWe. Complete qualitative description of the plant is given but no performance or cost information is provided. No references. Von Cleve, H-H. Comparison of Different Combinations of Wet and Dry Cooling Towers. ASME Winter Annual Meeting. ASME Paper No. 75-WA/Pwr-10. 75. New York, NY, ASME, International. Notes: Review of the use of combined or hybrid wet and dry systems for either water conservation or plume abatement. The combination of wet cooling towers with direct air cooled condensers is the usual system of choice for meeting water consumption or maximum turbine back pressure constraints. For plume abatement a combined wet/dry tower is required. The effect of design objectives, site characteristics and water availability on the system choice is discussed. No references. Wheeler, K. R. et al. Deposition and Corrosion Phenomena on Aluminum Surfaces Under Deluged Dry Cooling Tower Conditions. 81. Palo Alto, CA, Electric Power Research Institute. Notes: Description of the deluge enhancement feature of the EPRI/USDOE Advanced Concept Test facility. The design of the equipment and details of the tests are given along with data from the tests. No copy is currently available. Willa, J.L. Evolution of the Water Cooling Tower. CTI Journal (1991). Notes: History of wet cooling towers and their evolution to power plant size units. Particular attention is paid to the changes in materials of construction over time. Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of cross-flow vs. counter-flow units is given. No references. Willa, James L. How to Improve the Thermal Performance of Cooling Towers. CTI-EPRI Cooling Tower Conference. 2000. Palo Alto, CA, Electric Power Research Institute. Notes: An excellent survey of common operating and maintenance problem found in wet cooling towers and methods for addressing them. Estimates of performance improvement to be gained from these fixes are given. No quantitative cost information is given. 2 references. A-20
