METHOD FOR REDUCING WATER LOSSES FROM WATER COOLING TOWER AND WATER COOLING TOWER FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F28C1/00 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power engineering and is aimed at fluid cooling. Method for reducing water losses in a water cooling tower consists in the generation of a corona discharge in the cooling air flow between the corona electrodes and an earthed grid, in the course of water cooling tower operation the direction of external wind flow at the tower's outlet cross section is measured and the system of corona discharge generation between the earthed grid, installed above the tower within its outlet cross section, and the corona electrodes is controlled so that to ensure that the live corona electrodes are placed on the windward side in relation to the earthed grid.

EFFECT: reduction of moisture release from water cooling tower to environment.
