Crosswind is a significant concern for the design and operation of a natural draft cooling
tower. The negative effects of crosswind on the thermal performance of natural draft cooling …

To explore the operation mechanism of the hybrid mechanical draft wet cooling tower
(hybrid MCT), a 3D model of the hybrid MCT is established. The plume, water saving, and …

Selection of condenser cooling technology can affect the financial as well as technical
viability of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. Detailed comparative assessment of …

The ambient cold air cannot reach the center area of the super-large natural draft wet
cooling towers (S-NDWCTs) due to the large diameter and the large water droplets …

The performance of natural draft dry cooling tower (NDDCT) of a coal-fired power generating
unit is susceptible to ambient conditions, such as natural wind and temperature. An …

Air-cooled condensers (ACCs) are commonly arranged in the A-frame form to extend the
heat transfer surface with some well-recognized design flaws that inhibit the cooling …

Natural draft dry cooling tower is attractive in recent decades with its superiority of zero water
loss. Some old thermal power plants are under high pressure of waste water reducing …

The natural draft direct dry cooling system (NDDDCS) presents a promising alternative to
conventional forced draft air-cooled condensers (ACCs) and indirect natural draft dry cooling …

Natural draft direct dry cooling systems (NDDDCSs) provide a new method of directly
condensing the working fluid in power cycles compared to traditional forced-draft air-cooled …

Recently, natural draft dry cooling system with the main-auxiliary integrated air-cooled heat
exchangers in the up and lower layers, has drawn attention to the electric power industry …
