Axial flow fan performance in a forced draught air-cooled heat exchanger for a sCO2 Brayton cycle
Francois D. Boshoff, Sybrand J. van der Spuy, Johannes P. Pretorius
An axial flow cooling fan has been designed for use in a concentrated solar power plant. The plant is based on a supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) Brayton cycle, and uses a force…

Enhancing Axial Flow Fan Performance in Air-Cooled Condensers: Tip Vortex Manipulators and Comparative Analysis of Numerical Simulation and Experimental Testing
Johannes P. Pretorius, Sybrand J. Van der Spuy
Direct dry-cooled power plants typically operate numerous large-diameter axial flow fans in air-cooled condensers to facilitate the condensation of steam in the plant thermodynamic…
