“…Recirculation was usually formed under the cooling tower in the effect of ambient wind. When recirculation occurred; the efficiency of air-cooled condenser dropped dramatically, which sometimes even made the system break off [1].There are many factors affecting the heat dissipation of air-cooled exchanger. Literature [2,3] had specifically analyzed the affecting factors of hot recirculation and offered the influence rule between each affecting factors and hot recirculation.…”

By using the computational fluid dynamics code, FLUENT, Numerically simulation is investigated for Youngshou power plant. Under the constant ambient temperature, the effects of different wind speed and wind direction on the thermal flow field are qualitatively considered. It was found that when considering about the existing and normally operating power plants, the thermal flow field is more sensitive to wind direction and wind speed. Based on the above results, three improved measures such as: increasing the wind-wall height and accelerating the rotational speed of the fans near the edge of the ACC platform and lengthen or widen the platform are developed to effectively improving the thermal flow field, and enhanced the heat dispersal of ACC.
