IMPROVEMENT IN DESIGNING DRY COOLING TOWERS WITH NATURALDRAUGHT USED IN POWER PLANTS[J]. Thermal power generation, 1996, (6). DOI: 10.19666/j.rlfd.1996.06.004.
Proposed in this paper is an optimization procedure for designing dry cooling towers with natural draught. Instead ofthe design ambient temperature and ITD this procedure uses the specified ambient temperature duration
the maximumambient temperature and the maximum permissible temperature of turbine exhaust steam as decision-making parameters.By using this procedure
one canueasily obtain the optimum combination of condenser and cooling tower for a sperific locality. and achieve a maximum economic benefit in a year.It is found that in some conditions a higher tower is justified.
