Comparative analysis of heat rejection techniques to avoid Legionella.

Author(s) : NASH G., CRANE J.

Summary

Presents a study aimed at quantifying the cost of procedures for heat rejection by cooling towers to prevent Legionnaires' disease as well as other factors such as energy consumption and practical considerations to compare cooling towers with other forms of heat rejection which carry less inherent risk. Carries out calculations over a range of typical commercial building cooling capacities and heat rejection alternatives. Finds that when maintenance and the required procedures for statutory compliance are included, wet cooling towers present a financial disadvantage and, unless justified on technical grounds, may present a burden for the owner-operator.
