Study of Degradation of Dry Cooling Tower Performance under Wind Conditions and Method for Tower Efficiency Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)
Wind affects adversely the cooling tower thermal performance. A field investigation was carried out to study the thermal performance of Heller cooling towers under wind conditions, involving measurement of wind velocity and its direction around the cooling tower, and obtaining water flow rates and temperatures at the cooling tower inlet and outlet. Results show that air suction at the tower top...
متن کاملNumerical and Analytical Study of Natural Dry Cooling Tower in a Steam Power Plant
Design of a natural dry cooling tower has been accomplished in two sections: the design of heat exchangers and the numerical solution of flow through the tower. Heat exchanger (Heller type) has been simulated thermodynamically and then coupled with a computer program, which calculated the turbulent natural convection flow through the tower. The computer program developed for this purpose can be...

متن کاملSnowfall observations from natural-draft cooling tower plumes.
During the winter of 1975-1976, snowfall from the plumes of large natural-draft cooling towers of power plants has been observed. Snow accumulations up to 2.5 centimeters have been found on the ground at extended distances from the cooling towers, and visibility has been restricted to less than 1600 meters in the tower plume near ground level.
متن کاملFeasibility Study of the Thermal Performance Improvement of Natural Draft Dry Cooling Towers Due to Flue Gas Injection
In steam power plants, any improvement in the cooling towers thermal performance will cause the condenser's temperature to decrease; which in turn enhances the power plant's efficiency. Due to water shortage, many power plants all around the world rely on natural draft dry cooling towers (Heller type). In these cooling towers, condenser's exit hot water is pumped to vertical or horizontal finne...
