Abstract: The air cooling system is greatly affected by the change of external climate. When the wind speed increases or the temperature rises, the heat transfer capacity of the air cooling radiator decreases, thereby leading to the rise of the unit's back pressure. In order to make sure the unit operating safely, some measures should be taken to reduce the influence of high wind speed. In this paper, the flow field distribution and heat dissipation capacity of four models are simulated under high wind speed. According to the analysis and comparison of flow field distribution and heat dissipation capacity data, the heat dissipation capacity of indirect air-cooling tower is as follows: wind-proof wall outside the tower, adjusting shutter, cross wall inside the tower, without any wind-proof measures.

Key words: air cooling system, heat dissipation capacity, wind break wall, cross wall, shutter
