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

摘要

The cooling tower has an evaporation medium along a liquid distribution system that distributes 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 the first flow duct and a second set of passages in fluid communication with the second flow duct. The heat exchanger module transfers heat from the first air stream to the second air stream. The cooling tower further includes a first bypass flow path extending between the first heat exchanger module and the second heat exchanger module, wherein the bypass door regulates air flow therethrough.
