STD- 202 Standard for Publication of Custom Cooling Tower Thermal Performance Test Results

摘要

Every year the CTI Multi-Agency Testing Chair provides a review of the previous year's custom tower test results. Such reviews have shown that more than half of the custom cooling tower acceptance tests are at less than 100% thermal capacity. CTI has developed this Standard to encourage custom tower capacity equal to or greater than 100%. It is CTI's intent to foster and promote the benefits of thermal performance acceptance testing of water cooling towers to the owner/operator of the equipment. It is not a certification program like that governed by CTI STD-201. The success of this program depends on a high percentage of custom cooling towers being field tested for thermal performance and the results published in accordance with this Standard. CTI will take action under the provisions of this Standard against participating manufacturers who imply that participation in this program is certification of the performance of their products, or against participating manufacturers who otherwise discourage testing of their products.
