QUESTION --A monuforturing process Is powered by o 9000 K. W. turbine. For the most economicol operation, woter uteri In the proceti thould be cooled from 105* P to 85* P, at 77* F wet bulb temperature. How much will IN cooling tower cotlt ANSWER --A tower with o .78 wotor-dr rotio It needed ond will cott about $50,000. QUESTION--How much con be saved if the tower cooit from 107* F to 87* P at 77* F wet bulb temperature -- 2* F higher temperolvreF ANSWER --This tower will require a .95 wafer-afr ratio, ond will cod only 7A/.95 & $50,000, or $41,000, a toying of $9000 In Initial cost, QUESTION --Then, Itn't the tecond tower the better buyf ANSWER -- Before amwertng, left examine your operating cotl. The deem needed to operate a 8000 K. W. turbine cotlt about $750 per doy. The 2* P overage on the tecand lower will Inoeote your fuel contumpllon 3%, to your operating cott will be Increated $22.50 per day, or $6750 per 300 day year. In ten year*, your operating cott will be increased $67,500, or more than ihe Initiol cott of the first tower. The answer b definitely, Nol .When conriderfag a new coding fewer, gel fhe bed engineering odvice possible -- consult a WCfC engineer. And afler yovr tower is krill, lnslatt+4, ond In operation, be Aire that II meett your specifications.

I doped out e 20-tl eteel uble mode el heavy chtnnel iron with lou, lege ebout three (eel high. On one end, I ehowed n cylinder ond pieten lo be worked by feedwater. "'What in hell is this, a drawing class?' barked Drumroerhauter. He'd finally come out of hie trance and wobbled into the shop. " This contraption ia going to stretch those lubes exactly three inches,' 1 re plied. Drummerhouscr blinked a few limes and went out of the shop, mutter ing to himself. He was a top-notch en gineer, but a bit short, on Imagination. Sounded like he woe saying,. , what does he think those bronze tubes are made of, rubber or something?' "After six hours our stretcher was finished. The long channel-iron stand had on old simplex feed-pump cylinder assembly at one end to do the pulling. We placed o 3-inch snug-fitting steel plug Into each end of a new condenser tube. Then we fastened two steel clamps over the outside of eaoh tube-end so they squeezed against the plugs on the inside. The damps ware bored to the exact outside diameter of the tube and split on one side so tightening two nuts sandwiched the tube-ends between the clamp* end the plugs. That prevented changing these dimensions during stretching. "We hooked one clamp over a boh at ono end of the steel frame. The too* ond damp waa hooked through a hole in the end of .the piston rod. By crack ing a volve from the feedwater >ytem, the piston started stretching the tube until it traveled exactly three inches. "We soon got down .the routine of re moving the steel-plugs from s stretched lube, then Upping them Into a new tube. Two men would place a tubs onu the long channel-stand, bolt tbe elxmpa at two ends, hook them in place on the end of the stand and the piston rod. Then one man would crack the liquid valve until the piston stopped, which was after exactly a 3-inch travel. Then he'd open the cylinder drain, remove the stretched tube and start on another tube. My boys got this job down so well that in no time those old tubes were flying out of the condenser." At this point O'Houlihao cut in skep tically, "Thai's a good story, Manny, and I've stretched a few tubes ml**" --in a pinch. But tell us bow long those tubes lasted. Jpl Y .... . .v. .
