12-23: Film Fill Fouling: Updated Methods, Results, and Predictions Energy Evaluation An ongoing interdisciplinary research project

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

Resulting restrictions in freshwater availability for evaporative cooling use may lead to potential production constraints

Through contact with water

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

Several typical examples will be presented along with appropriate charts and graphs to clarify proper application

12-23: Film Fill Fouling: Updated Methods, Results, and Predictions Energy Evaluation An ongoing interdisciplinary research projectFilm 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.
