85-17: Pultruded Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester: The Material of Choice For Cleaning Systems

85-17: Pultruded Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester: The Material of Choice For Cleaning SystemsThe pultrusion process and resulting high strength fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) laminate has many answers for cooling tower engineers. A review of the process, physical properties and successful applications reveals the importance of this material in the cooling tower industry. The process improvements and process control procedures developed during the 70's and 80's enable pultruded FRP to compete with higher priced woods and treated steels

corrosion monitoring

high pumping costs and environmental regulations are driving cooling water systems towards higher cycles

One that has received wide spread acceptance is a phosphate/phosphonate treatment through laboratory and filed data

hydroelectric power generation

Whether and how to account for the pitot tube blockage introduced by the pitot tube in both pitot calibrations and water flow measurements have historically been open questions

it behooves contractors and owners of asbestos materials not to test or evade the laws

This paper describes recent experiences with newer all-organic alkaline treatment programs

an experimental program was developed and executed to evaluate the effect of drift eliminator design on cooling tower fan system performance

to high time-dependent load variations causing high vibration amplitude and high stress

But to take full advantage of this life expectancy the designer must be aware of certain design parameters unique to composites that must be addressed
