Summary

Legionellosis is a disease that can be lethal. It is caused by bacterial contamination arising from certain manufacturing equipment, hot-water systems and cooling towers in particular. This book does not handle the medical aspects of the disease and the bacteriological issues involved; instead, it aims to provide recommendations, in some cases very comprehensive, on means of minimizing the risks of development of Legionnaires' disease, including the design of new plants, the testing and adapting of existing plants, and correct plant management and maintenance. Extract from the table of contents: basic data; hot-water supply: new approaches; management and maintenance of improved hot-water supply systems; improving existing hot-water supply; spas and jacuzzis; cooling towers and evaporative systems: design; management and maintenance of cooling towers and evaporative systems; humidifying equipment and adiabatic cooling.
