Abstract

Abstract In most full scale dry-cooling towers rectangular heat exchanger bundles are arranged either vertically around the circumference of the tower or horizontally in the inlet cross-section of the tower. A numerical procedure is used in the present paper to investigate the influence of the particular arrangement on the performance of a tower in windy conditions with the results being verified by full scale and experimental measurements. Practical suggestions concerning the arrangement of the heat exchangers and wind-break walls are made which may lead to significant reductions in the adverse effect of cross-winds on the performance of dry-cooling towers.
