- Abstract
- In this paper, the averaged reentering rates of the densely built cooling towers, which form banks on the building roof in Seoul, Korea have been predicted by a numerical method according to various summer wind conditions and roof wall types. The averaged reentering rates of all the cooling towers are compared according to two wall types to study the effect of the intake outdoor air louver on the reentering rates. Consequently, two findings are drawn as follows. (1) With a curtain wall, the averaged reentering rates of the total cooling towers against the west and the south wind at nu = 5 m/s are 13.3 and 24.4%, respectively. Therefore, it is strongly needed to find a method to reduce the reentering of the discharged air from the cooling towers. (2) In the case of a louver wall, the averaged reentering rates of the cooling towers with the west and south wind at nu = 5 m/s are 2.5 and 9.74%, respectively, which have been estimated to be lower than those of the curtain wall. Therefore, the louver wall can be suitably adopted to reduce the reentering of the discharged air from the cooling towers in the present study.
