to protect the evaporator from scaling. In order to find the number of arrays that need to be
taken out of service during April, the simulation program was run for different number of
arrays in operation. It was found that 4 arrays of the 76 arrays available need to be drained
making the available absorber area for this month 1,764 m

. The other operating conditions
are as given in table 17. These results translate into the optimum operating conditions shown
in table 19.
