Preliminary and Speculative Design and Analysis of Energy Efficient Dry Cooling System of Thermal Power Plant

Abstract

In this paper we will focus improve the efficiency dry cooling system to preliminary and speculative design and analysis to compare the efficiency of the existing indirect dry cooling tower and for validating the experimental model the scale is reduced. Hence the dry cooling tower of the diesel power plant of 1MW diesel generator is considered for comparison. The heated water from the diesel generator is supplied to the rotating heat exchanger i.e. two radiators mounted radically in the opposite direction for balancing the weight. As the heat exchanger is rotating the heat from the coolant water is liberated to the atmosphere efficiently through forced convection without the usage of fans and less water mass flow. The power required to rotate the fans is reduced and only a part of that power is used for rotating the radiators.
