Abstract

The development of the assisted draught cooling tower has involved a detailed consideration of the effects of the tower on the environment and vice versa. In this context some of the results of the studies of droplet carryover (drift), the effects of high winds on water stripping, blowout and tower performance, plume behaviour, fan noise and ice accretion at the air inlet are outlined. It is concluded that while the use of assisted draught cooling towers ameliorates some environmental effects, the adoption of stringent environmental requirements can lead to excessive cost penalties.
