Characteristics of an Indirect Dry Cooling System Tower

What is meant by Indirect Dry Cooling Tower? An Indirect Dry Cooling Tower is a system that uses two separate fluid loops to reject heat. The process fluid is first cooled by water in a conventional heat exchanger, and then that water is itself cooled by air in a dry cooling tower. The key concept is the...

What is meant by Direct Dry Cooling Tower? A Direct Dry Cooling Tower is a system where the primary process fluid (e.g., the steam from a power plant turbine) is sent directly to the large air-cooled heat exchangers (the finned tubes) in the tower. There is no intermediate heat exchanger or water loop. Think of it as...
