INVESTIGATION OF SCALING AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH WATER SPRAY AUGMENTATION OF AIR-COOLED CONDENSERS.

Author(s) : JORDAN M. V., GUINN G. R., HALL J. A.

Summary

THE RESEARCH HAD TWO PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVES: (1) TO EVALUATE TECHNIQUES FOR PREVENTING THE FOULING OF AIR-COOLED AIR CONDITIONERS AUGMENTED WITH WATER SPRAYS AND (2) TO ASSESS THE SEASONAL PERFORMANCE AND UTILITY IMPACTS OF SPRAY AUGMENTA THE PAPER ADDRESSES WORK DONE IN PURSUIT OF THE FIRST OBJECTIVE. DATA INDICATE THAT SOME FORM OF FOULING PREVENTION IS DEFINITELY REQUIRED TO PREVENT PERMANENT CONDENSER DAMAGE FROM SCALING AND CORROSION. IT IS ALSO EVIDENT THAT COST-EFFECTIVE MEASURES ARE AVAILABLE TO PROTECT THE AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT WHILE REAPING THE BENEFITS OF WATER SPRAY AUGMENTATION.
