8EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES The literature search revealed only one technology that qualifies as an “emerging” technology, i.e., one in an advanced stage of development with the potential to be seriously considered as an alternative water-conserving technology for power plant cooling in the near future, say, within the next 5 years. This technology, based on the evaporative condenser concept, is described in the following section. The cost and performance information is presented in the same format that was used in Section 5 for the wet and dry cooling systems. Hybrid Cooling Systems: Evaporative Condenser An alternative cooling technology, widely used in the chemical process and HVAC industries and recently considered for power plant applications, is the evaporative condenser or wet surface air cooler (WSAC). Detailed descriptions of the technology are found in the CTI literature (Hutton, 1999) and on vendor websites and in brochures (Niagara Blower Company). Fundamental treatments of the thermodynamics and heat transfer mechanisms in the process are found in standard texts and handbooks (see references in Hutton, 1999). A unit by Resorcon (Niagara Blower, Inc.) has been operating at MassPower, a 240-MWe plant in Springfield, MA, since 1993. A description of their operating experience, based on a telephone interview with the plant superintendent, is included in Section 3. A brief description of the technology follows for convenience of reference. Figure 8-1 provides a schematic view of the equipment. The process fluid, in this case condensing steam, flows through horizontal tubes arranged in bundles. Air flow is induced downward across the tube bundles, turned 180° through mist eliminators and the fan, and then discharged vertically upward. Water is circulated from a collection basin and sprayed onto the top of the tube bundles. It then flows downward, co-current with the air, and returns to the basin. Heat is transferred from the condensing steam through the tube walls to the falling liquid film. It is then rejected to the air stream as both sensible and latent heat, as is the case in a conventional wet cooling tower. 8-1PDF Image | Comparison of Alternate Cooling Technologies for California Power Plants Economic, Environmental and Other Tradeoffs
