Effect of Different Heat Rejection Scenarios on Cooling Tower Plume Dispersion

Article Preview

Abstract:

This impact of heat rejection on cooling tower plume dispersion was studied in this paper by applied SACTI (Seasonal Annual Cooling Tower Impact) model. In order to analyze the impact of heat rejection (HR), we set five scenarios including observed, HR decrease 5% (HR-5) and 10% (HR-10), and increase 5% (HR+5) and 10% (HR+10). Results showed that plume length frequency, plume height frequency and plume radius frequency will present different variation trend when heat rejection increase and decrease scenarios. On the whole, the plume character parameter will decrease as heat rejection decrease, but will increase as heat rejection increasing.
