Enhanced cooling tower technology for power plant efficiency increase and operating flexibility
- GTI Energy
The Final Report describes the results of the work completed during the “Enhanced Cooling Tower Technology for Power Plant Efficiency Increase and Operating Flexibility” project. The objectives of work were to develop and demonstrate the prototype (up to 100 kWth) of an economically viable “all weather” Sub-Dew Point Cooling Tower (SDPCT) with inlet air cooling and dehumidification including testing in laboratory-controlled environment for simulating various ambient conditions. The inlet air is cooled and dehumidified by a Pressure Dehumidifying System (PDHS) installed at the cooling tower inlet.
