Experimental Research on Wet-cooling Tower Performance Under Cross-wind Conditions

Cooling tower is one of the most important equipment of thermal power plant,the cooling performance of cooling towers will affect the efficiency and safety of units.An experimental platform of cooling water system in power plant had been established to study the wet-cooling tower performance under cross-wind conditions.Researches show that with cross-wind velocity increasing,cooling temperature difference and cooling efficiency decrease first then increase at the knee point when the velocity value is 0.8m/s;the inlet wind at the windward side velocity increases,the leeward side of ventilation decreases.It also analysis the effect from the cross-wind to the performance of cooling towers with Froude number.
