Guideline: Side Stream Filtration as an Aid to Cooling Tower Performance
| Organization: | CTI |
| Publication Date: | 1 February 2012 |
| Status: | active |
| Page Count: | 6 |
scope:
This guideline identifies the impact of high concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS) in recirculating cooling water on cooling towers and downstream components. Both process and HVAC operations will be reviewed.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this guideline is to outline benefits to the operation of evaporative condensers and cooling towers, their components, and to the equipment and systems they support utilizing the most common sediment side stream filtration technologies. Implementation of proper filtration strategies reduces the adverse effects of suspended material in the recirculating loop.
