This study treats the analysis of the performance and the design of plume abatement wet/dry cooling tower with dry type heat exchanger using a numerical method. A two-dimensional analysis is performed using the finite volume method for mechanical draft counterflow and crossflow tower. For a coupling problem between water and air system, a turbulent two phase flow is considered. Effectiveness-NTU method is used for modeling of the dry type heat exchanger. The parameter change simulations of the outer wall shape, the relative flowrate of air, and attachment of an air mixer are performed to examine the effect on plume abatement. It is found that if the relative air flowrate ratio and the adequate air mixer type are chosen well in addition to the ratio of water to air flowrate, the loss of the cooling capacity and the additional cost are reduced and the plume is abated.

This study treats the numerical analysis of performance and design for plume abatement wet/dry cooling tower with a dry type heat exchanger. A two-dimensional analysis is performed using the finite volume method for mechanical draft counterflow and crossflow tower. For a coupling problem between water and air system, a turbulent two phase flow is considered. The Effectiveness-NTU method is used for modeling of the dry type heat exchanger. The parametric simulations such as the relative flowrate of air and attachment length of an air mixer are performed to examine the effect on plume abatement. It is found that if the relative air flowrate ratio and the adequate air mixer type are chosen well in addition to the ratio of water to air flowrate, the loss of cooling capacity and the additional cost are reduced and the plume is abated.

The performance and design analysis for a NWD cooling tower using a combined wet and dry type fill are numerically investigated and compared with the experimental results. The Stoecker's method is applied to the wet section and LMTD or NTU-Effectiveness method to the wet and dry sections. The efficiency ratio of the NWD cooling tower to a wet type crossflow cooling tower is 59.34%. The predicted result shows a good agreement with the experimental data within 1.4% error. Plume abatement is far better with a NWD cooling tower than a counterflow cooling tower. It costs less than a conventional wet/dry tower because the finned exchanger is eliminated. This method also leaves out complexity in structure and Intricacy in operation.

본 연구에서는 복합화력발전소 백연방지 냉각탑의 동계운전시 백연발생을 방지하는 냉각수의 충전재 바이패스 비율이 설계치와 일치하는지에 대해 연구하였다. 29 Gcal/h 냉각용량인 백연방지 냉각탑의 운전 설계 습구온도는 $13^{\circ}C$에서 $-20^{\circ}C$ 범위이며, 이때 충전재 바이패스 비율 설계치는 0%에서 78 %로서, 외기온도 강하시 바이패스 비율 증가는 $2.36%/^{\circ}C$ 였다 발전소 정상운전 조건에서 냉각탑 유입공기의 습구온도가 $7.8^{\circ}C$에서 $-11.8^{\circ}C$ 범위에서의 실제 운전시 벡연방지를 위한 충전재 바이패스 비율은 23.8 %에서 74.3 % 범위로 측정되었다. 이때, 외기 습구온도 $7.8^{\circ}C$에서 $-9.55^{\circ}C$ 범위에서의 바이패스 비율 증가는 $2.71%/^{\circ}C$ 이었으며, 혹한기의 습구온도 $-10^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 대기온도 강하에 따라 바이패스 비율 증가는 $1.61%/^{\circ}C$로 설계 대비 충전재 바이패스 비율 증가율이 감소되었음을 확인 하였다.
