Recirculation Screens

Hot air caused by recirculation and interference, which enters the same or nearby cooling tower or air-cooled condenser (ACC), can lead to significant inefficiencies within your plant.

This unwanted air disrupts cooling processes, reducing overall performance and operational reliability. By employing advanced CFD modelling, we can analyse your existing cooling tower or condenser system alongside its surrounding environment to identify areas of concern. These detailed simulations demonstrate how strategically placed wind screens can effectively prevent or substantially minimise the impact of recirculation and interference. The outcome is a marked improvement in plant efficiency.

CFD Modelling

Galebreaker can model current airflow patterns in and around your air cooled condenser, air cooler or cooling tower, analyse the impact on performance, and then recommend an optimum wind screen solution to prevent or significantly reduce recirculation helping you claw back lost thermal deficiency.
