Impacts of Water Flow Rate on Freezing Prevention of Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers in Power Plants

Under cold ambient conditions, the freezing risk of air-cooled heat exchangers, especially the frontal finned tube bundles, has been a critical concern in power plants. Based on the freezing conditions of the cooling deltas under windy conditions, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of natura...
