87-16: Restoration, Testing and Repair of 30-Year Cooling Tower at the Fire Protection

87-16: Restoration, Testing and Repair of 30-Year Cooling Tower at the Fire ProtectionFour fan cells of a 30 year old, 14 cell crossflow, redwood splash fill tower were selected to install and test PVC V Bar fill. This paper deals with the demolition, installation and unique method of collecting tower off water temperature data to perform a CTI Performance Test. Because of cooling demand the entire 14 cell fan cell tower had to remain in service during the tests.
