Application of Dry Cooling Tower
Dry cooling towers are the technology of choice when water is more valuable than energy or when environmental regulations prohibit water use or vapor plumes.
- Thermal Power Plants: Especially in arid regions (e.g., parts of Australia, South Africa, the southwestern United States, and China).
- Industrial Processes: In industries like petrochemicals and metalworking located in water-scarce areas.
- Geothermal Power Plants: Where the geofluid is highly mineralized and cannot be evaporated.
Data Centers: Increasingly considered to reduce their massive water footprint
