W-STYLE ACC® : OPERATIONAL FEATURES
WIND SENSITIVITY IS REDUCED
Two main negative effects of wind on an ACC performances:
• Recirculation of hot air exiting the ACC.
With W-Style ACC in induced draft, recirculation is reduced due to higher exit air velocity
• Reduction of fan air flow due to disturbance at air inlet
With W-Style ACC the fan inlet is protected from cross wind by the bundles acting like a screen
