What is a cooling tower?
AVE - FAQA cooling tower is a device for transferring waste heat from a power plant to the atmosphere. Once through cooling is only available near large bodies of water. Once through cooling is sometimes objectionable for environmental reasons because returning warm water to a body of water can have adverse effects on marine life.

I have a cooling tower, for my HVAC system do I require anything special?
Frequently Asked Questions about Selecting a SeparatorContaminates in most cooling towers are either airborne, rust from pipes, or limescale from water evaporation. These contaminates are considered "soft" and not a threat to carbon steel. In this application you can use either a self-contained separator system, to clean tower basin, or a standard separator.
What type of filtration do you recommend for cooling tower water?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe fan on a cooling tower draws in thousands of cubic feet per minute of outside air that contains sand, dust, insects, and fibers from vegetation. These airborne contaminants mix with the process cooling water and eventually these suspended particles find their way into heat transfer surfaces. After a period of time these surfaces become fouled and insulated causing equipment to run hotter and replacement or repair is necessary.
What happens to suspended minerals in an open circulating system like a cooling tower?
ScaleSafeMineral concentrations will build up over a period of time and must be diluted manually, automatically or on a continuous bleed-off once the total dissolved solids (TDS) reach a predetermined level. This is the same procedure that must be followed when using any water treatment and is commonly referred to as cycles of concentration. Technically it does not since the calcium and magnesium salts remain in the water.
Why A Cooling System?
FAQ : The Pressurized Cooling SystemYour engine creates up to 5,000 degrees of heat within the combustion chamber. Enough heat to m-e-l-t the entire engine in less than 30 minutes! Approximately 1/3 of gasolines energy is converted into usable power to propel the vehicle, 1/3 of the energy is dissipated out through the exhaust system, and the remaining 1/3 is carried off by the cooling system.
Currently, why is electric cooling used more than gas cooling?
Frequently Asked Questions About Gas CoolingIn the United States, most cooling needs in the 1930s and 1940s were provided by gas. By the 1960s, electric chillers began making inroads into the cooling market due to lower cost equipment, low electric rates, and higher efficiency machines. In the 1970s, the use of gas was restricted and electric cooling use continued to increase. By 1990, only 5% of all air conditioning in the United States was provided by gas.
Is gas cooling only applicable to large cooling system applications?
Frequently Asked Questions About Gas CoolingNo. Unitary or packaged gas cooling is available in both direct expansion (DX) as well as chilled water systems. Equipment range in size from 3 tons to 500 tons and larger. This equipment is suitable to most residential and light commercial/industrial applications.
What is the tower made from?
Eiffel TowerIt is widely believed that the Eiffel Tower is made of steel, but this is incorrect. The Eiffel Tower is built of pure iron. Steel has existed for thousands of years, but methods for producing it in large quantities didn't exist until the middle nineteenth century—only a few decades before the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889.

Do I have to shut down my cooing tower to use the CTV-1500?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - GoodwayNo, the cooling tower can remain on-line during cleaning with the CTV-1500. The fan, however, must be shut off using approved lock-out tag-out procedures.
Can I discharge the outlet water back into the tower basin?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - GoodwayThe water discharged from the CTV-1500 is not clean enough to return to the basin as the only filter in the system is the in-line sediment filter. A filtering system is available to filter the discharge water down to 5 microns so it can be returned to the basin.
Is there someone in Devil's Head Tower, can he/she give an interpretive presentation?

Many of our lookouts are quite knowledgeable and available to answer questions on the tower. However, their primary function is to watch for signs of smoke or fire and therefore would not be available for an extended presentation.
What is the Enviromission solar tower?
AVE - FAQIn the early 2000's, the Australian company EnviroMission proposed building a 200 MW capacity solar chimney in Mildura south west Australia. The chimney was planned to have a height of 1 km and a diameter of 130 m. The solar collector would have a diameter of 7 km. The estimated cost of the Australian solar chimney is $800 million.
How do you go about grounding a tower?
TLG Windpower Questions and Answers, FAQ, about wind generat...It is going to work and work even better than a DC motor/generator would. Here's why; Putting out 3 phase AC means that you can run smaller wires down the pole which will save you a lot of money over a standard DC unit, and depending on the length of run you may save enough money in the cost of wire alone to be able to buy a second unit.
