Cooling Tower Blowdown Heat Exchange System
US Patent:
4009577, Mar 1, 1977
Filed:
Jan 21, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/651125
Inventors:
John L. Allen - Ocean City NJ
International Classification:
F02M 3100
US Classification:
60692
Abstract:
Thermal pollution from industrial manufacturing and electric generation plants is avoided by incorporating in the water-cooling system of such plants a heat exchanger to allow the heat load, which would otherwise be injected into the source of external water supply, to be exchanged through the cooling tower to the atmosphere. In a preferred embodiment, the system incorporates a counterflow heat exchanger so that the temperature of all water exhausted into the source of external water supply is within the few degrees of the temperature of the external water supply.
