WATER COOLING TOWERS FOR LLOYD'S OF LONDON REDEVELOPMENT.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THREE WATER-COOLING TOWERS ARE SITED ON THE NEW LLOYD'S BUILDING AT THE END OF THE GLASS ATRIUM ROOF. THEY ARE DE-SIGNED EXTERNALLY TO BLEND WITH THE EXTERNALISED SERVICES THEME OF THE BUILDING AND ARE CLAD WITH PANELS SIMILAR TO THOSE USED ON THE BUILDING WALLS. BLOW-THROUGH TOWERS WITH CENTRIFUGAL FANS HAVE BEEN USED TO REDUCE NOISE LEVELS. A NEWLY DESIGNED ELIMINATOR SECTION HAS BEEN INCORPORATED TO REDUCE DRIFT TO VIRTUALLY NOTHING. THESE ELIMINATORS ARE OF VACUUM-FORMED PVC AND CONTAIN AN OPTIMUM RATIO OF SURFACE TO FLOW AREA. THE LARGE NUMBER OF CORNERS IN THE SECTIONAL DESIGN ENABLE MICRO-DROPLETS TO AGGLOMERATE TO FORM DROPS LARGE ENOUGH TO DROP OUT AGAINST THE AIR-FLOW. DETAILS OF TESTS CARRIED OUT ON THESE ARE INCLUDED. THE TROUGH DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IS ALSO DISCUSSED. D.W.H.
