ABSTRACT:
A highly effective and efficient dry cooling system for dissipating waste heat of a steam-electric generating power plant. The dry cooling system includes an assembly of cells or modules having passively acting heat pipes installed in a Y configuration in each module. These heat pipes thermally couple the exhaust steam from a turbine flowing in a graded duct with the atmosphere. A large fan mounted at the top of each module is driven to induce air flow past exterior heat pipe portions of the module to dissipate heat picked up from the steam in the duct. The steam condensate flows down the graded duct and collects in a hot well for return as boiler feedwater. Steam from the boiler drives the turbine and is exhausted into the graded duct to repeat the cycle.
