Reduction of Fire Hazard in Materials for Irrigators and Water Collectors in Cooling Towers

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

A way of reducing the fire hazard of PVC film used to make cooling-tower irrigators and water collectors is examined. A new generation of fire retardant, nanostructured magnesium hydroxide, is used to impart fire retardant properties. The fabrication technology is optimized with a roller-calendering manufacturing technique, and the permissible ranges of fire hazard indicators for materials in irrigators and water collectors are determined.
