    Abstract: In one aspect, a heat rejection apparatus is provided including an evaporative heat exchanger and a primary fan operable to direct first ambient air into an air inlet, cause the first ambient air to interact with the evaporative heat exchanger to produce heated air, and discharge the heated air from an air outlet. The heat rejection apparatus includes a plume abatement fan operable to direct second ambient air into contact with the heated air downstream of the evaporative heat exchanger and a controller operably coupled to the primary fan and the plume abatement fan. The controller has a plume abatement mode wherein the controller operates the plume abatement fan to cause the plume abatement fan to direct the second ambient air into contact with the heated air to cool the heated air and abate plume.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a heat exchange apparatus is disclosed having a liquid distribution system configured to distribute liquid onto a liquid absorbent material and an airflow generator operable to cause air to flow through the liquid absorbent material and toward an indirect heat exchanger. The heat exchange apparatus includes a controller configured to operate in a dry mode where the controller inhibits the liquid distribution system from distributing liquid onto the liquid absorbent material and a wet mode where the controller causes the liquid distribution system to distribute liquid onto the liquid absorbent material. The controller is further configured to operate at least one of the liquid distribution system and the airflow generator to inhibit drift of liquid from the liquid absorbent material toward the indirect heat exchanger in response to the controller switching from the dry mode to the wet mode.

    Abstract: Cooling arrangement and method for cooling of a heat source. The cooling arrangement includes a closed loop, a semi-open loop and at least one fan. The closed loop includes a primary side of a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger receiving a first cooling fluid heated by the heat source, a first air-to-liquid heat exchanger downstream the primary side, and a first pump returning the first cooling fluid to the heat source. The semi-open loop includes a tank storing a second cooling fluid, a second pump drawing the second cooling fluid from the tank, a secondary side of the liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger receiving the second cooling fluid from the second pump, an evaporating pad downstream said secondary side, and an inlet fluidly connected to a source of the second cooling fluid. The at least one fan causes an air flow through the evaporating pad and through the first air-to-liquid heat exchanger.

    Abstract: A power plant includes a power generating system, a tower housing and an evaporative cooling system which includes at least one multiple-effect evaporative condenser. The multiple-effect evaporative condenser includes a pumping device, a first cooling unit and a second cooling unit. The first cooling unit includes a first water collection basin for collecting said cooling water from the pumping device, a plurality of first heat exchanging pipes connected to the condenser and immersed in the first water collection basin, and a first fill material unit provided underneath the first heat exchanging pipes. The second cooling unit includes a second water collection basin positioned underneath the first cooling unit for collecting said cooling water flowing from the first cooling unit, a plurality of second heat exchanging pipes immersed in the second water collection basin, and a second fill material unit provided underneath the second heat exchanging pipes.

    Abstract: A cooling tower having plume abating means is disclosed. The cooling tower disclosed herein includes: a housing; a cooling unit disposed inside of the housing and configured to convert high-temperature cooling water into low-temperature cooling water by contacting it with ambient air, wherein the cooling unit includes a wet unit and a dry unit that limit or block transfer of materials therebetween; a cooling water distributing unit disposed on top of the cooling unit and configured to spray cooling water to at least the wet unit of the cooling unit; a plume generating unit for generating plume by contacting first air discharged from the wet unit with second air discharged from the dry unit; a plume collecting unit disposed inside or outside of the housing and configured to collect plume generated in the plume generating unit; and an exhausting means disposed in a front end or back end of the plume collecting unit.
