Abstract

1,141,831. Cooling towers. CENTRAL ELECTRICITY GENERATING BOARD, and D. J. W. RICHARDS. 18 Feb., 1966 [23 Feb., 1965], No. 7815/65. Headings F4K and F4S. A cooling tower comprises an external shell 10 of circular cross-section in horizontal planes and convex cross-section in diametral planes, preferably generally semi-elliptical as shown, with the major axis at or above ground level. Air inlets 11 are arranged around the base of the cooling tower, the air outlet being a circular aperture 12 in the top of the tower. A dry cooling tower is shown, in which radiator elements are arranged in a frusto-conical surface 13, but other embodiments (Figs. 2-7) concern wet cooling towers, in which the packing and water distribution systems are disposed in concentric regions, means (e.g. baffles 28, 29, Fig. 2) being provided to divide the incoming air so that air from different inlet levels is directed to the separate regions. The liquid distribution systems and packing may be arranged at the same (Figs. 4, 5) or different (Figs. 2, 3, 6) levels within the tower or at different levels outside the tower and around the base thereof (Fig. 7). Fans (35, Fig. 3; 39, Fig. 5; 50, Fig. 6; 54, Fig. 7) may be employed to assist the flow of air.
