Figure 4.20 Cooling tower design developed by Baltimore Aircoil Co. The system is designed to operate without fill packing.

An example of such a product is ioBio , marketed by Baltimore Aircoil Co. (BAC). It is proposed for small cooling systems. This system is, in effect, an in-line dispenser of prilled elemental iodine (U), with replaceable iodine canisters available. The equipment is placed in the makeup waterline to the tower, and in-line options include filters, water meters, and back-flow prevention devices. Claims made are that the biocidal action of the elemental iodine is not affected by changes in temperature, system load, or water chemistry. Also, the system is compatible with virtually all scale and corrosion inhibitors and does not contribute to the corrosion of metal surfaces.
