Bypass filtration of cooling tower water: a demonstration project

Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1985

OSTI ID:5620549

R.J. Industries, Inc. under the DOE Appropriate Technology Program, designed, installed, and monitored a side stream water filtration system on a typical cooling tower arrangement supplying condenser water to refrigerated chilled water units. All of the components utilized in the filter system were readily available. (The actual filter unit was designed to maintain the clarity and overall quality of swimming pool water). R.J. Industries modified the flow characteristics and adapted the hardware for use with a cooling tower system. The application of existing equipment in a new technology proved to be a practical, cost effective approach for maintaining the quality of cooling tower water.
