Dry cooling system

Also known as dry closed-loop cooling; a technology for rejecting heat from the steam condensate of a thermoelectric plant. Cooling water circulates in a closed loop between a steam condenser, where it accepts heat from steam condensate, and a dry condenser located in an outdoor location. Fans are used to establish a flow of ambient air across the surface of the dry condenser, allowing the heated cooling water inside the dry condenser to transfer heat to the ambient air before cycling back to the steam condenser.
