13-20: Condenser Performance MonitoringA myriad of mechanical, operational and chemical factors impact condenser performance. Quantifying the impact of a chemical change or troubleshooting a performance problem can consume a lot of resources and the benefits obtained can be fleeting. This paper presents several cases where condenser performance monitoring tools quickly and accurately documented condenser performance changes and highlighted the value of making those changes.

easily applied and competitively priced

suspended swing stages

wet/dry cooling systems enable significant water savings

minimum maintenance requirements

particle material

as well as laboratory findings and field case studies that document marked improvements

The paper deals with cooling tower replacement

The subsequent performance tests I '85-'87 indicated a drastic degradation in performance

The discussion will include sensor selection (IMI sensors)

The water flow to typically 10% of a given tower was shut off after the installation of butterfly valves

Both methods were employed at the same location during a recent test program
