Monitoring also includes operational checks of gauges, meters, and recorders, plus inspection of heat exchangers, cooling towers, etc. 

Sterilization by chemical methods. Biocidal action has been widely used for many years to control biofilm formation in closed systems, such as heat exchangers, cooling towers, and storage tanks.64, (Dexter)5... 

The water employed in industrial processes such as heat exchangers, cooling towers, and steam generators is obtained from the most convenient local sources. This water must be treated to remove species that can give rise to corrosion, the formation of deposits, and fouling. Here too, adsorption on activated carbon is often an integral part of the treatment process. 

Process Technology 1—Equipment—instruction in the use of common process equipment, including basic components and related scientific principles. Includes a study of valves, pipes and tanks, pumps, compressors, motors and turbines, heat exchangers, cooling towers, boilers, furnaces, distillation columns, reactors, and separators. 

Process equipment—piping, tanks, valves, pumps, compressors, steam turbines, heat exchangers, cooling towers, furnaces, boilers, reactors, distillation towers, and so on all the primary machines and devices used in a process. 

Wet-Bulb Temperature The temperature of saturated air. The lower the wet-bulb temperature, the more exchange of heat a cooling tower can do. A tower cannot cool the water to a temperature below the wet-bulb temperature of the entering air.

The hydrolytic condensation of methyltrichlorosilane is carried out in hydrolyser 6, which is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger cooled with salt solution (-15 °C). Before introducing it into the hydrolyser, the reactive mixture is mixed (in its bottom part) with acetone this mixture then enters the capillaries. At the same time the bottom part of the hydrolyser is filled with water. The reaction takes place in the tubes of the apparatus. The product of hydrolytic condensation is cooled and through the top of the hydrolyser is sent into tower 7, which is a Florentine flask, to split into the aqueous and organic layers.

Multiple pumped primary coolant loops would transport warm coolant from the core outlet upward to elevated heat exchangers. Pumped heat exchanger secondary systems would employ a light water coolant to transport reactor heat to cooling towers and ultimately to the environment. The core flow velocity of 0.75 m/s corresponds approximately to that for a commercial PWR under conditions where decay heat is removed to the steam generators by loop natural circulation. 

Alkyl or aryl phosphonates, which contain a carbon—phosphoms bond, are comparatively more stable. They are of interest as antiscaling additives and corrosion inhibitors for cooling towers and heat exchangers (see Dispersants Water, industrial water treatment), surfactants (qv), sequestrants, and textile-treating agents. Trialkyl phosphites are usehil as esterification (qv) reagents. 

Fig. 4. In the Solar Two Project a molten salt system shown in the scheme replaces Solar One s water/steam system. In operation, "cold" molten salt is pumped from a storage tank to a receiver on a tower. Sunlight reflected from a field of sun-tracking mirrors heats the salt in the receiver to 1050°C. The heated salt then flows down into a hot storage tank where it is pumped to a heat exchanger to produce the steam that drives a turbine. Some of the hot molten salt can also be stored to produce steam on demand at a later time. Salt cooled to 550°C in the steam generator recirculates through the system and...

Gas leaving the economizer flows to a packed tower where SO is absorbed. Most plants do not produce oleum and need only one tower. Concentrated sulfuric acid circulates in the tower and cools the gas to about the acid inlet temperature. The typical acid inlet temperature for 98.5% sulfuric acid absorption towers is 70—80°C. The 98.5% sulfuric acid exits the absorption tower at 100—125°C, depending on acid circulation rate. Acid temperature rise within the tower comes from the heat of hydration of sulfur trioxide and sensible heat of the process gas. The hot product acid leaving the tower is cooled in heat exchangers before being recirculated or pumped into storage tanks. 

Heat rejected to the environment by most industries is of Httle consequence. Cooling flows of air or water are deployed over equipment or through heat exchangers and the relatively small quantities of heat are dissipated to the surrounding air. Small cooling towers, often of the evaporative type, have become ubiquitous in an industrial faciUty.
