Boiler Blowdown Rate |
A blowdown of the boiler is a routine operation necessary due to the increased concentration of Total Dissolved Solids - TDS - in the boiler during the steam production. The blowdown rate of a boiler depends on: steam consumption (steam used in the process and not returned as condensate to the boiler), concentration of impurities in the feed water, maximum allowable TDS in the boiler. |

Cell Control Type |
Cooling tower cell control type. A cooling tower cell is the smallest tower subdivision bounded by either exterior walls or partition walls, which can function as an independent unit with regard to air and water flow. Most larger cooling tower systems use a multiple-cell configuration. This configuration allows for the correct staging of equipment as the facility loads vary and incorporate redundancies such that critical operations are never in jeopardy of being nonoperational. |
