This thesis comprises the study of existing ‘Clivet’ type Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) used in the industry to improve the performance of existing HVAC system. In commercial sector for air conditioning system 50 - 65% of the electrical energy is used in the HVAC system. Part of the energy is used for useful operation whe...

Modeling Strategy for the Analysis of Forced Draft Air-Cooled Condensers Using Rotational Fan Models
Article

  • Feb 2019
Air-cooled condenser (ACC) design methodologies use empirical correlations that are unable to account for the complex flow phenomena associated with ACCs. Numerical models are seen as an alternative evaluation tool. This paper details the development of a modeling strategy for an ACC in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of OpenFOAM. The a...

  • Oct 2016
The water demands of power plant cooling systems may strain water supply and make power generation vulnerable to water scarcity. Cooling systems range in their rates of water use, capital investment, and annual costs. Using Texas as a case study, we examined the cost of retrofitting existing coal and natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC) power plants w...

Air-cooled condensers are widely used for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plants where cooling water is unavailable or too costly, but they are then vulnerable to changing ambient air temperatures especially in continental climates, where the air temperature difference between winter and summer can be over 40°C. A conventional ORC system using a...

  • Oct 2018
This paper aims to investigate the seismic performance of a novel type of steel–concrete hybrid supporting structure consisting of reinforced concrete (RC) tubular columns, steel solid web girder platform, and A-shaped steel frames. It is typically used to house air-cooled condensers (ACC) in thermal power plants (TPPs). First, the finite-element (...

The MinWaterCSP project aims to reduce the water consumption of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants by 75 to 95% relative to wet cooling systems by introducing novel dry/wet cooling technology. As part of the project a large diameter axial flow fan was manufactured from a glass fibre reinforced polymer to demonstrate the ability of the consortiu...
