16-27: Use Of Large Diameter Fans On Air Cooled Heat ExchangersA significant improvement in air cooled heat exchanger technology was implemented at U. S. Geothermals Neal Hot Springs power plant. Large induced draft cooling tower fans were used to reduce the total number of fans from 270 to 30. O&M and power savings total $1. 6 million dollars present value. Use of VFD controlled direct drive motors yielded additional power savings of $3. 1 million dollars present value. Higher capital first costs were offset by

This paper will discuss the approach and results used in this cooling tower application

The consumptive use of water is of con­cern to us -- for plants that use cooling towers (the practical alternate method to using stream or reservoir water) use more (consumptive) water per kilowatt hour generated than do plants which are able to circulate their cooling water in lakes
