Fresh breeze cuts down one-third ventilation rate of a natural draft dry cooling tower: A hot state modelling

The natural draft dry cooling tower (NDDCT) has been increasingly used in power generation for its merits of excellent water-saving, high energy saving, simple maintenance and long life service. To study the performance of a newly installed 660 MW NDDCT under crosswind condition, a model with scale of 1:200 was built according to the scaling law of geometric similarity. The experiments were set up in self-similar region with high Reynolds to...
