Dry and Wet-Peaking Tower Cooling Systems For Power Plant Application

Abstract: A new concept of power plant heat-sink system is presented which employs the combination of a conventional wet-tower and a conventional dry-tower. The purpose of this cooling system is to reduce wet cooling-tower makeup-water requirements in water-short areas. The dry tower operates all year around while the wet-peaking tower is used only above certain ambient dry-bulb temperatures. The two cooling circuits serve separate sections of a conventional, surface-type, steam condenser. Thermal performance analysis i… Show more

“…A number of possible arrangements exists for combining separate wet and dry cewers into wet/dry towers which can conserve make-up water while rejecting the power plant waste heat. Many of these wet/dry towers have been lescribed iD the literature (15,16,17). Evaluation of all possible…”
