modular and cost-effective test set-up to thermally assess an individual cell of the tower

March 1998

An ongoing interdisciplinary research project is investigating the effects of wind on the thermal performance of ACCs with a field study of an existing full-scale combined cycle power plant

12-23: Film Fill Fouling: Updated Methods, Results, and Predictions Energy Evaluation thus releasing the use ofFilm fill fouling is an important problem in modern power plant and industrial process cooling. This paper will present current laboratory and field fouling evaluation methods. Also reviewed are the history of application of various film fill geometries, in situ water conditions, and the resulting condition of those fills.
