The national standard compilation working meeting of "Cooling Tower Energy-Saving Water Turbine Technical Specification" organized by Tianjin Electric Research Institute Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Electric Research Institute) was held in Tianjin on May 26-27, 2015. 34 representatives from 20 units including manufacturing enterprises, energy-saving companies, user units, design institutes, and universities attended the meeting. The meeting was presided over by Li Feng, deputy director of the Energy Industry Standardization Technical Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Industry Standard Committee), and Xu Yuanfeng, director of the Standard Management Office of the Standardization and Technical Evaluation Center of China Electrical Equipment Industry Association, attended the meeting and delivered a speech.
Director Xu introduced the relevant policies of national standard management and analyzed the key contents of the national standard reform plan. She pointed out that currently only products in certain key fields can be listed as national standards. The approval of this standard conforms to the national strategy of energy conservation and consumption reduction. She required the writing working group to cherish and grasp the opportunity, closely rely on the Industry Standard Committee, and complete the standard writing work on time and with quality.
The meeting discussed and approved the standard compilation work regulations, clarifying the principles and participation methods of standard compilation. The secretariat of the Industry Standard Committee also explained the standard formulation procedures, enabling some representatives who participated in standard compilation for the first time to have a more comprehensive understanding of the standard formulation process.
This standard was proposed and led by Tianjin Electric Research Institute. Song Guiling, secretary-general of the Industry Standard Committee, explained the outline and some contents on behalf of Tianjin Electric Research Institute, and had a heated discussion with the participating representatives. The representatives fully affirmed the framework of the standard and actively expressed their opinions on the scope and certain technical clauses of the standard.
The representatives also analyzed and discussed the current situation of the industry and its future development direction. They unanimously agreed that replacing motors with water turbines is a good way to save energy and reduce consumption in cooling towers, with very broad market prospects. However, at present, there are various types of products on the market, chaotic prices, and many problems in technical indicators and product quality. The formulation of this standard will certainly play a normative role in product technology, quality, and market order, and is very necessary for the development of the entire industry.
Since this standard is the first product standard in this field, more in-depth research work is needed in the future compilation of standard drafts at various stages, so as to make the standard technologically advanced, economically reasonable, and ensure safety, and strive to publish it as soon as possible to serve the industry. The participating units expressed that they will actively contribute to the standard compilation in the future, and hoped that the Industry Standard Committee and scientific research institutes will play a leading role in the industry, guide enterprises to develop advanced technologies, eliminate backward products, promote the healthy development of the industry, and make important contributions to China's energy conservation and emission reduction cause.
