Beware:SM North EDSA parking

[blitz122805]

Matagal na yung mist sa area na yan. Baka wala pang nag effort na magreklamo. Hassle especially if you just had your car washed.

Any action from SCMC?

Ito yata ang salarin?

bihira lang i-blow down (term ng mga Mech Engrs, aka itapon) ang tubig ng cooling towers kasi syempre mahal yung tubig. so ilang beses nila gagamitin yung tubig (o cycle of operation), gaya rin sa mga swimming pools, kaya yung tubig magiging hard and makaka fouling

ang solusyon, chemical treatment yung tubig ng cooling tower, which is gaya rin ng swimming pools at halos kasing potent ng treatment sa mga drinking water. so meron chlorine and other salts yung chemical treatment, which would react sa finishes ng auto natin

naka enclose naman cooling tower nila ah. 2nd pic is air-cooled chiller.

i would assume hindi condensate ng aircon yun kasi from water vapor yun so almost pure water sya. sa mga centralized aircon system gaya ng sa SM (aka chiller system), centralized din ang location ng condensate, which is nasa chiller plant or nasa Air Handling Units (AHU). ang mga chilled water pipes naman eh insulated





ang cooling tower meron yang malaking fan tapos yung tubig eh circulating. kaya yung chemical treatment na nasa circulating water eh na blow ng cooling tower fan. pag bagong chemical treatment, para dura yung lumilipad na chemically treated water

baka galing sa cooling tower ng first picture

ang cooling tower you would want the air to come in to help cool the water

mga cooling fins ung expose pero it seems like enlcose dun sa kabilang side ung red part. pero pwede nila enclose din un sa expose na cooling fins para hindi na magkalat ung mga chemicals.

[dfopiso]

though never pa akong nag park sa pinaka taas ng SM North, eh beware na lang tayo kasi baka from chemical treatment yung nakaka damage sa finishes ng auto. malamang hindi rin sagutin ng SM management pag mag complain

so iwas mag park sa side near the cooling towers

Yes, kitang kita yung daloy ng tubig pababa dun sa nakunan ng first photo po, baka dun galing?
