<p>An improvement in a cooling tower system (70) and operation thereof. The improvement comprises acid treatment of the cooling water, softening of the inlet water and controlling of drift. Drift is controlled by controlling fan (58) speed; controlling fan (58) operation time; adjustment of inlet louver (46) spacing; adjustment of wetfill (30) spacing; adjustment of mist eliminator (38) spacing; spraying of inlet louvers (46) with cooling or other water; and spraying of the mist eliminators (38) with cooling or other water. Water softening may be accomplished by replacing hardness cations with sodium cation or with hydrogen cation. The amount of softening performed is controlled by an adjustable system comprising the water meter/contact timer (78) and the solenoid valve (82). Optionally a filtration subsystem (130, 134) for the cooling water may be included.</p> |
