SPX Corporation is an American manufacturing company, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. [2] [3] [4] The company operates within four markets: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (), detection and measurement, power transmission and generation, and engineered solutions.
The impacts include thermal pollution and killing large numbers of fish and other aquatic species at cooling water intakes. [17] [18] A Marley mechanical induced draft cooling tower. The heat absorbed by the circulating cooling water in the condenser tubes must also be removed to maintain the ability of the water to cool as it circulates.
An engraving of the Paris Observatory from the beginning of the eighteenth century shows the wooden "Marly tower" on the right, a dismantled part of the Machine de Marly (the temporary tower replaced by La tour du Levant at the beginning of the Aqueduc de Louveciennes), moved to the Paris Observatory by astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini for ...

Bowen's four cooling towers are 381 ft (116 m) tall and 318 ft (97 m) in diameter and can cool 1,100,000 U.S. gallons (4,200 cubic meters) per minute. Another 26,000 US gallons (98 m 3 ) per minute or 37 million US gallons (140,000 m 3 ) per day of water is lost to evaporation which creates the distinctive white clouds rising from each tower.
Specific spray pond surface areas tend to range between 1.2 and 1.7 m 2 per m 3 /h of water to be cooled. The width chosen for a drift channel around the active zone of the pond (containing the sprays) is dependent on a number of factors, including the prevailing wind strength, the average size of the spray droplets produced by the nozzles, and the presence of any nearby structures which may ...
