Performance Improvement of a Forced Draught Cooling Tower Using a Vortex Generator

Abstract: Cooling systems using colling towers are often an important element in a production process and always involve water or energy consumption. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of the colling tower will reduce water and / or energy consumption. In order to increase the efficiency of colling tower energy consumption, the most studied part is the fills, where heat transfer occurs. However, there are no studies on the use of vortex generators in colling tower fills. Hence the aim of this study was to evaluate the… Show more

“…VGs disturb the thermal boundary layer, forming vortices. These vortices cause turbulent flow, which impacts the mixing between hot and cold fluids and increases the heat transfer rate [5][6][7][8][9]. The heat transfer rate is also affected by the surface area of the VG.…”

“…These VGs are extensively used in automobiles, aircraft, and ships to reduce drag and boost speed. At the same time, VG is widely used in a variety of mechanical devices, including gas turbine blades, heat engines, solar air heater ducts, solar chimneys, cooling tower, heat exchangers such as fin-tube heat exchangers, parallel flow heat exchangers, heat exchanger channels, corrugated-trapezoidal channel, tube bank and circular heat exchangers [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. In recent years, there has been an increase in the investigation of VG on plate inserts along circular heat exchangers.…”
