NASA and Boeing personnel experience conditions during a water deluge test on the Crew Access Tower at Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It was concluded from this study that the HOETERV deluge system of dry/wet cooling, using ammonia as an intermediate heat transfer medium, offers the potential for significant cost savings compared with all-dry cooling, while achieving substantially reduced water consumption as compared to an evaporatively cooled power plant. Others included site meteorology, heat exchanger configuration and air flow, number and size of towers, fan system design, and turbine operation.
Annual water availability was the most significant design parameter. Various design parameters of the cooling system have been studied to evaluate their impact on the optimum cooling system design and the power-plant/utility- system interface. The ammonia is condensed in the heat exchanger by inducing airflow over the plate fins. Steam is condensed by boiling ammonia in a condenser/reboiler. Ammonia is used as the indirect heat transfer medium between the turbine exhaust steam and the ambient air. The delugeate is distributed at the top of the heat exchanger and is allowed to fall by gravity in a thin film on the face of the plate fin. The HOETERV deluge system uses a horizontal-tube, vertical-plate-finned heat exchanger. The deluge system used in this study is termed the HOETERV system. To avoid the degradation of performance for higher ambient temperatures, water (the delugeate) is distributed over a portion of the heatmore » exchanger surface to enhance the cooling process by evaporation. In the '' deluge'' dry/wet cooling method, a finned-tube heat exchanger is designed to operate in the dry mode up to a given ambient temperature. The results of a detailed engineering and cost study of one type of dry/wet cooling system are described. The use of combined dry/wet cooling systems for large base-load power plants offers the potential for significant water savings as compared to evaporatively cooled power plants and significant cost savings in comparison to dry cooled power plants.
