TP20-09: Air Flow Modifications for Optimization of Natural Draft Cooling TowersImproving the performance of heat sink systems can generate considerable gains ofplant output by increasing the overall plant efficiency. For natural draft counter flowcooling towers, such improvement can be achieved by enhancing the aero dynamics ofair inlets. Many operating cooling towers have an air inlet with a sharp edged concreteshell, support columns, or basin edge. The air flow entering the tower passes thesezones and easily becomes turbulent

Some of the usual suspects include: (1) the lack of clearly defined scope of work and responsibilities
