The integral components of heat exchangers and in particular the tubes, tubesheets and
tube-to-tubesheet joints have vital roles in the proper functioning of this equipment. Several …

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 …

The power consumption of circulating pumps can be effectively reduced by optimizing the
circulating cooling water mass flow rate in indirect dry cooling system of a thermal power …

In areas rich in coal but lacking water, thermal power plants, or nuclear power plants are
widely adopting direct air-cooled systems due to their excellent water-saving capabilities …

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 …

In cold winter, the air-cooled heat exchanger of natural draft dry cooling system in thermal
power plants is easy to freeze, so the turbine back pressure is generally lifted to avoid …

Important efforts are dedicated to reduce water use in the power generation sector. In this
paper the use of a dry Heller cooling system is proposed to diminish the water consumption …

Adding air coolers to cooling water system is an effective way to reduce heat load and the
cost of cooling water system. It is also an effective method to prevent fouling and save water …

With the construction of the deep peak regulation of thermal power units, the freezing risk of
cooling towers under low load conditions is aggravated. Therefore, in order to keep natural …

During low ambient temperature periods, the huge heat transfer temperature difference
would result in an excess cooling capacity of the natural draft dry cooling tower. So low …
