Wet/dry cooling-system assessment program. Volume 3. Program execution plan. Final report
Plans submitted in this report discuss an approach to study performance estimates of hybrid cooling technology and to assess heat-rejection concepts in order to help utilities better conserve our nation's scarce water resources. This assessment program includes (1) the instrumenting and testing of the cooling tower, (2) the development of a computer program to simulate operation of the tower and optimize the design and operation of new towers, (3) the development of optimum operating strategies for wet/dry towers, and (4) an engineering evaluation of critical design and operating parameters of wet/dry towers. This volume is the proposed program execution plan and includes discussions relating to the testing, computer modeling, engineering analyses, and field-testing efforts.
