86-12: Activation of a New Tower FacilityThe activation of a new heat exchanger, pipeline and components, and cooling tower systems, can present problems not found in modifications or additions to existing systems. This paper will address some of the unexpected events that surfaced during activation of the cooling tower systems, piping, and valving and the steps taken to correct the occurrences.

This paper is based on a previous one from 2010 where a new full cone cooling tower nozzle of a much better distribution quality was described

SHM has a tremendous potential in cooling tower structures to economically address restoration and maintenance challenges facing engineers
