Cooling tower drift study: drift measurement and analysis of the measuring technique
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6641468
Cooling tower drift studies were conducted at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant (ORGDP) in 1973 and 1978. The results from these two tests, which were performed on the same counter-flow mechanical draft cooling tower, indicated an order of magnitude difference in the measured drift fractions. To ascertain the reasons for the wide divergence in results, the measuring techniques used in the two tests have been compared. The analysis showed that the sensitive paper method is most reliable and its superiority is primarily due to a larger sampling area than that associated with the optical measuring device.
