AIR-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGER BYPASS FOR WET COOLING TOWER APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention has an evaporation medium and a liquid distribution system for distributing a hot liquid over the evaporation medium. The cooling tower includes a pair of heat exchanger modules each having a first set of passages in fluid communication with a first flow duct and a second set of passages in fluid communication with a second flow duct. The heat exchanger module transfers heat from the first airflow to the second airflow. The cooling tower further includes a first bypass flow path extending between the first heat exchanger module and the second heat exchanger module, and the bypass door regulates air flow through it.
