18-22: Strategies for Reducing Uncertainty in Legionella AnalysisThe accuracy and efficacy of Legionella testing is affected by various factors that can increase measurement uncertainty. Such factors include interference from non Legionella organisms, subjective interpretation of test results, and differential performance of agar media, among others. Examples of these effects will be discussed in relation to strategies for minimizing uncertainty. Legiolert, a new culture based method for detection of Legionella

we talk about cost

The size of the installation by comparison to heat exchangers as we normally know them is quite large

The water exposure was at room temperature and 125°F revealing no performance advantage obtained from the coating

The CTI book covers plots of counterflow KaV/L vs L/G for a wide range of wet bulb temperatures

A unique approach is being used to address concerns of water reuse at a facility with zero permissible discharge and plant wastewater effluent for cooling tower make-up

it only uses common sodium chloride salt as a feed stock

especially electric generation or cogeneration stations require permit approval that contain criteria such as noise limits

we compare several chemistries for the inhibition of such scale formation

The object of this work is to develop uniform methods that will aid the industry in specifying cooling systems

the cooling tower is a part of a bigger system

Shutdown periods for inspections are costly and often only a short time period is available

atmospheric emissions from cooling towers can also be important considerations
