Cooling towers are a relatively inexpensive and reliable way of expelling heat from a number of industrial and commercial processes, including nuclear & thermal power plants, petroleum refineries, ...

Heat transfer depends on the efficiency of contact between air and water flowing through a tower, which means that cooling tower fill design is critical to air-water mixing. Part 1 of this series ...

Over time, a neglected cooling tower’s leaving water temperature will increase, raising energy costs by up to 6 percent for every 2°F increase. However, a well-maintained cooling tower will continue ...

The model of a German cooling tower was part of a London Met project where students produced wooden models of industrial structures, writes David Grandorge This photograph depicts a model made of ...

Combined cycle power plants have become in large measure the de facto replacement for the many coal plants that are being retired. A particular aspect of these new plants is that they are often ...
