A three-dimensional salt water cooling tower numerical simulation model was established to study the characteristics of drifts and salt deposition in nuclear power project. In the model, site meteorological data, design parameters of cooling tower, general layout, environmental characteristics, are considered. The results show that when the natural wind direction is parallel to the tower row, two hot air streams are superimposed on each other as one, which is beneficial to reducing the influence of drifts and salt deposition on the environment. The drifts with particle size greater than 550µm cannot escape from the outlet of cooling towers. In normal operation of 6 nuclear power units, the salt deposition will not cause serious damage to plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
