The main priority in photovoltaic (PV) panels is the production of electricity. transformation solar energy into electricity depends on operating temperature such a way that performance increases with decreasing temperatures. In existing literature, different cooling techniques can be found. purpose most them to use air or water as thermal carriers. This work focused working fluid whose movement either induced by natural convection forced means fan. aim this study characterise electrical...
The design of a wet cooling tower involves number trade-offs including the efficiency device to remove waste heat (thermal performance) and environmental aspects (emissions level). This paper deals with experimental characterisation new prototype. novelty work relies on study designed avoid emission airborne particles atmosphere. experiments were conducted in pilot plant built ad hoc for this purpose. sensitive method was used impact assessment comparison between obtained results those found...
In the design of a cooling tower there are two key aspects, thermal performance and emissions level. The main objective this paper was experimental optimization in terms new prototype forced, mechanical-draft, wet, inverted tower. sense, fill length nozzle arrangement (position hydraulic characteristics) have been investigated. novelty work is that studied has practically zero levels emission particles (0.00015% circulating water). results indicate upper manifold (only parallel flow)...
This paper presents a critical evaluation of the thermal performance analysis inverted cooling tower, which was conceived as new tower prototype that prevents dispersion pollutants to atmosphere during its operation. The device can be classified mechanical forced draft, counterflow-parallel flow tower. combination Merkel and Poppe methods counterflow, parallel counterflow/parallel arrangements has been discussed, for total 5 different approaches. method prediction reports higher numbers than...
