Mitchell, R D

This report presents the results of a survey of water conserving power plant heat rejection systems. Complete characterization of the currently available alternative water conserving heat rejection systems are provided, their applicability for use in meeting a range of power plant water use and environmental constraints is outlined, and additional research needs are identified. The objective of this project was to develop a comprehensive and consistent information base on water conserving heat rejection technology which would provide utilities with an effective tool for first-order planning when dealing with changing water availability. 63 refs., 19 figs., 6 tabs.
