09-16: Meteorological Considerations in the Design of Plume Abated Cooling Miscellaneous

09-16: Meteorological Considerations in the Design of Plume Abated Cooling MiscellaneousCooling towers are often located in areas where a visible plume is objectionable. In such situations, a plume abated cooling tower is frequently specified to alleviate the perceived problem. The paper discusses the use of fogging frequency analysis to examine alternative designs of plume abatement systems and the selection of the psychometric design point that defines the envelope of conditions in which a visible plume or fog is produced.

Products are available for both the commercial and middle-market segments that deliver the convenience and consistent activity that is much valued in these market segments

and by creating an environment for destructive and pathological organisms such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRBs) and Legionella pneumophila

in comparison to wet cooling and provide improved plant efficiency and output at frequently lower cost in comparison to all-dry systems

Abstract: American Electric Power's more than 30 years of experience in operating natural draft cooling towers during freezing winter weather conditions is discussed in the paper
