Control of Legionella in small evaporative condensers: A risk management approach

摘要

Evaporative condensers have been refined to be highly efficient at heat rejection. They have a very important role to play in reducing energy consumption and thereby in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from thermal power stations [9]. Environmental quality can be further Improved if design and operation of evapo- rative condensers follows the approach sug- gested in this paper. The main principles are: Recognise that Legionella is a Pathogen of concern and risk of infec- tions must be managed: reducing Legionella counts reduces risk of expo- Sure.
