)Improvementl
Talking to sales engineers
Polacel is a manufacturer of cooling towers. A coo-
ling tower is a technical product that has to meet
precise specifications.
This is why our sales organization relies on our sales
engineers, who are qualified professionals with specific
know-how. They give advice, analyze your wishes and
take personal responsibility for delivery so that your
order is completely in line with your instructions.
)Modular system)
Manufacturing and
installation
Polacel manufactures modules to size on the basis
of the data we have compiled. We produce smaller
units that are delivered ready to install as well as
large cooling towers, which we assemble on site.
Customer-specific requirements can easily be accommo-
dated thanks to the modular system. Client wishes
also form the basis of the installation phase. We can
supply the installation ready to operate within a short
delivery period.
[Servicel
Polacel's service organization
Polacel's own service organization specializes in the
maintenance of all cooling towers and it knows all
the ins and outs of the whole technical area.
The scopeofthe services includes scheduled maintenance,
capacity measurement, overhauls and the upgrading of
cooling towers. The Polacel service organization takes
care of clients' cooling tower installations in order
to make the operation problem-free and perform

[Communicationl
The Polacel approach
Polacel believes in direct contacts and short lines
of communication. The organization is transparent
and our customers always have a permanent focal
point.
Up to and including completion this is the sales
engineer, a specialist who also remains involved in the
cooling tower afterwards. Once your cooling tower is in
operation, there is a permanent internal contact person
for all practical matters, such as maintenance.
[Conditionsl
Purchase, hire, hire purchase
and lease
Customization is also our standard approach to sales
policy. Clients are free to choose the form of purchase,
hire or lease that suits them best.
[Optionsl

ISyltt'm's functions]
The effect of counterflow
CMC cooling towe.. work on the principle of counterflow.
This means lhat lhe waler flows down while lhe air is pulled
upwards by a fan.
As the water nows further through the system, the air it enconn-
leTS is fresher, in other wonls cooler and less saturated with moi-
sture. Counternow cooling towers can approach the wet hulb tem-
perature better compared to cro5sflow cooling towers.
{Knowhow]

Cooling performance measured:
the wet bulb
The wet bulb temperature is in fact the lowest temperature

placing it In a streanl of air. The will evaporate lose

GEA rolacel CMC range succeeds ill doing this alld combines
maximum efficiency with low power consumption, anu therefore

IModular systeml
Modules to size
The cooling water temperatures (inlet and outlet), the wet
bulb temperature, noise and the water load are the four most
important factors in the selection of a cooling tower.
GEA Palacel makes an inventory of the requirements together
with thr. client and IISCS this inventory as the basis of the design
for a suitable solution. The CMC system can be extended.
and there .Ire standard solutions available for different capacity
needs. GEA Palacel engineers make customized changes to meet
special requirements.
ISllentnessl
Noise reduction
As a rule cooling towers are outdoors, and usually on a roof
or at the edge of the site, The noise produced by the cooling
tower caused by, among other things, the fan, falling water,
the electrical motor or geared motor. can therefore present a
problem.
GEA Polacel has put a number of into practice that
rr.duce the noise nuisance. larger fans (lower speed. less noise
and higher efficiency). floating silcncers to reduce the noise of
splashing and other noise reducing measures combolt the different
sources of noise.
GEA Palacel provides a detailed picture of the nature and level of
the noise produced by means of detailed calculations. GEA Polacel
can also make calculations for all cooling towers beforehand in
relation to the requirements laid down ill euvirollmental permits.

2H Structured Media PP vs. PVC
At present about 25% of 2H structured media is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
and 75% from polyp.ropylene (PP). We claim to have gained considerable experience
of both products over the past 15 years.
2H :find PP media has the following advantages:
~ It is more consistent in properties than PVC
Stronger than PVC
Has better operational properties such as wetting
Is less expensive to produce and sell
lIealthier for the work force
Has a lower cost of ultimate disposal
Some of these findings are apparently contrary to published polymer property data
and so require clarification and expansion. As is often the case, it is "not what you do
but how you do it" which provides the explanation.
Consistent properties
All PVC media is made from reground scrap. It is calendared to a flat sheet, usually
by a specialist manufacturer. Then the media producer theono or vacuum forms the
sheet to a corrugated or profiled surface which is then trimmed to size. The sheets are
coated with- solvent based -adhesives, stacked into a jig and left to dry. Sometimes,
aqueous based adhesives are used but these produce weaker bonds and they also
contain some solvent.
PP media is made from virgin polymer compounded with inert additives and passed
through a standard plastic sheet extruder. The molten extruded sheet is fed directly
into a revolving forming tool, cut to length and welded into blocks in one continuous
process. The automatic welding device controls temperature, pressure, time and
cooling cycle to close tolerances.
pp blocks produced by this method have fewer steps in their production and,
importantly, the polymer is subjected to leastlwo less melting cycles than glued PVC.
Every time a polymer undergoes amelting cycle, some degradation occurs.
With PP the handwork element of gluing is removed. Overall, the human factor is
much reduced.

PP is stronger than PVC
To welding plant
Not according to published data: this indicates that the ultimate tensile strength of
typical PVC is about 160% that of typical PP. Yet 2H PP blocks can be produced
whkh sustain the weight offully loaded articulated trucks. Similarly, it is possible to
build heavily loaded high rate tilters t.o 8m depth or more from PP media.
Following extensive independent evaluations by the TUV in Germany, 2H are able to
wan"antee their PP dynamic loading solutions for 30year+ lifetimes. So far this has
not been done for glued PVc.
2H PP media achieve their exceptional mechanical performance for the foUowing
reasons:
The density difference between PVC and Polypropylene polymers is about
40%. This allows thicker foils to be made from PP fOJ" equivalent weight to
PVC offsetting the strength difference.
The 21-1 process allows strengthening of the media block where the loads are
heaviest
The compounded fillers significantly improve the long-term strength
properties of the PP block

PP and some PVC media contain UV additives to improve weatherability. Ev.aluation
is ongoing. S:o far, long terJn tests (10 indicate similar results for PVC and PP
media i.e. good resistance. It is predicted, however, thaUhe greater [oil thickness of
PP media could give it the edge over tlie long teon. In Western Europe projected life
for both PVC and PP media is in of 30 years.
PP media bas better operational p"operfies such as wetting
Studies by CAMRE at Potion Down, originally into the growth of LegionelJa in
pipework, show that the growth of biomass on PP is more rapid than on PVC. This
I.eads to faster filter start-ups from PP. Meeting outlet consents withjn two weeks is
not ullusual.
The compounding of PP with fillers has the effect of roughening the surface and
reducing the surface energy ofPP media. Inpractice, this allows enhanced wetting
and biomass retention. Independent studies show the perfOlmance of cooling tower
fill fi'om 2H media is virtually identical to PVC. Thi.s would not be the case for
unmodified PP.
PP has generally better chemical resistance than PVC and its contit1U"ous operating
temperature is at least 8ddegC compared to PVC's 55degC. This is of considerable
importance for cooling tower operation.
In the field, 2H PP media ios significantly more robust than PVC. This allows faster
initial installation, safer- conditions and easy removability of blocks for
routine biomass inspections.
pp media is less expensive than PVC to produce-and to seU
Generally speaking PVC polytner is less expensive tha.!'l PP polymer but PP med.ia is
often less expensive than PVC media
The weight per specific volume of PP is less than PVC (0.91: J.42) - Thls is
only p&rtly negated by the greatel' thickness of2HPP media foils
Precise control of sheet thickness by the 2H manufacturing process
Fewer manufacturing steps
Automated process (lower labour costs)
No glue
No solvent recovery plant -investment and operation costs

2. _
PP is healthier for the workforce than PVC
Matters of health are always contentious as most materials can be hazardous if
mishandled. 2Hstrongly recommend that all users of p l a s t i ~ s materials strictly follow
manufacturer's safety requirements.
PVC is halogenated and is built into blocks by using solvent based adhesives. Such
products call- be toxic even in small amounts and especially, when ingested or inhaled
over prolonged periods.
Balogem and solvents are absent from PP media and from its construction processes.
So Tisks associated with them are also absent. ft is also worth noting that, in the
instance of those hazards mentioned luwe, when PP media is used, the possibility of an
afflicted person bringing legal action against a user who persists in purchasing PVC
media when a safer alternative is available is also eliminated.
PP has a lower cost of ultimate disposal than PVC
PVC is a halogenated product. Already in certain parts of Europe disposal by landfill
except under very special circumstances and at great cost is proillbited for this class of
chemical. Similarly, incineration is very expensive.
It can be expected that the trend towards greater harmonisation of regulations
throughout Europe will create a situation where the inevitable disposal of PVC media
may prove more expensive than the initial installation.
At present P-P can be disposed by landfill without additional cost penalties. Being
non-halogenated it can also be incinerated at less cost than PVC.

Thermal Engineering

The maximum evaporation, which determines the design for the make up and drain, can be 25% higher.
Drain loss : Depends on the water quality

Sound power cooling tower
The total sound power (PWL) of the cooling tower is determined by the logarithmic summation of the partial
sources: fan outlet and air inlet. The noise at the air inlet is caused by the falling of the water in the water pan.
This noise can be attenuated using floating noise attenuators, a special Polacel development. The values are
calculated according to DIN 45635 Sub 46, class 3. The sound pressure at a certain distance can be calculated
using the table conversion from sound power to sound pressure for counter flow cooling towers.
PWL fan outlet : 105.0 dB(A)
PWL air inlet without attenuators : 107.5 dB(A)
PWL cooling tower total (excl. att) : 108.3 dB(A)

Clarification:
This noise calculation is based on field noise measurements results of the sound pressure level (Lp) close to the noise
emitting source by means of an omnidirectional sound pressure measurement device. The sound power level (Lw) is
calculated from the sound pressure measurement results with the formula below:
Lw = Lp + 10 log(S) + Lf
S = Surface of the measurement surface enveloping the noise source (e.g. hemispherical or cilindrical surface)
Lf = correction for the geometrical nearby field which is dependend on surface ratio Q
For the calculations we refer to emitting method C4 from IL-HR-13-01 'Handleiding meten en rekenen industrielawaai', page
2C-18 to 20. The enveloping measurement surfaces are based on method B4 and C4 and DIN 45635.
The sound pressure level data given below are based on selection programs, field measurements and data received from our
vendors.
The total sound power level of the cooling tower is calculated using the sound power data of the different noise emitting
sources. This method is described in DIN 45635 and is a value that can be used to compare different cooling towers.
The reference sound pressure level is 2 x 10^-5 Pa.
The reference sound power level is 10^-12 Watt.
